It is always something people look forward to for so many reasons... the beginning of summer and cookouts, there are parades to march in or to cheer for...just plain old family fun!
I will be front and center at the Putnam Memorial Day Parade starting at 10am on Monday, May 28th. See all of the local events here in Putnamania on WINY Radio's website.
It is easy to forget the reason for Memorial Day if you have not served in the military or aren't close with someone who is now serving.
Here is a simple tribute I found on youtube.
And here is an old Bob Hope classic visit to the troops in a hospital, this one during WWII.
Check out Whitney Houston grandly singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl some years back.
What a world.
I am very thankful for those people I've never met that have made my life so great.
Being the sap that I am, I have tears streaming out of my eyes as I write this blog and think of what a world this can be - and the sacrifices that so many have made.
I am a Putnamaniac looking forward to celebrating the Memorial Day weekend!
