Title: Memorial Day Weekend - How will you spend it and honor those deserving
Post by: cavemann on May 24, 2018, 02:41:31 PM: There's plenty to debate and bicker about lately, let's take a breath and put it in perspective. Memorial Day weekend is always a time as a family we take off from sports, events and other distractions and enjoy family time. Sunday night is usually around a campfire and honoring the spirit of the holiday.. We'll be at Lake Cushman fishing, a little hiking and flying the flag high at our friends cabin.

To all those who have publicly served and/or served in the military, thank you for your service!! I'll be tilting a few back in your honor and appreciation. Enjoy your families this weekend everyone
