On this day I think about my friends that I miss so much. What would they be like today? What may they have accomplished? Taken so young and so quickly.

They are not forgotten. That is our duty. May they rest in peace.
On this and many other days I remember the friends I lost. If I honor their sacrifice they live, if only in my memory. This day is not about barbeques and shopping. These friends paid the ultimate price.

Thanks for posting this Dave.On this and many other days I remember the friends I lost. If I honor their sacrifice they live, if only in my memory. This day is not about barbeques and shopping. These friends paid the ultimate price.
Today is one day of the year for reverence and remembrance. It is also a day to feel our blessings on a family such as mine with many who served and all came home.

- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.
