We are, of course, going to be having a family gathering tomorrow at CatHouse Central to enjoy friends and family and the long weekend.
But this weekend is in memory and celebration of the men and women in our armed forces who gave the last, full measure of devotion to this country, so it's appropriate to remember and honor them.
Back in February, HBO aired an incredible movie - "Taking Chance." I was upset that I couldn't watch it, but heard so many enthusiastic endorsements of it - including from my Beloved Husband, who saw it while traveling - that I had to order it. I recieved notice near the beginning of May that it had shipped, but was down in Orlando helping my Mom when it arrived.
Today, while cleaning out the cooler in preparation for this weekend's festivities, lo and behold, there was the package from Amazon...
So now I have the perfect movie to remember and honor our citizan soldiers who have laid down their lives so that this country remains free.
Make sure along with your popcorn and soda you keep a box of tissues handy.
