Often, it is the convert who is the strongest believer, the son- or daughter-in-law who is the best child, the immigrant who is the greater patriot. There has always been some truth in that observation.
Today, we see very vivid example of this at the Rottweiler. An American by choice, Misha gives us all a lesson that many of us need, if even just a little, on this day.
If you have a printer, make yourself a copy to share with those who travel through life "Internet-impaired."
Also, please take a moment to read the Blog Son's thoughts on this day. He's one of the people we should all be walking up to today. He's the one who's hand we should be shaking, and to whom we should be saying "Thank you."
Yes, Memorial Day is to remember those who died to preserve our freedom, our land, our lives. Take a moment and thank someone who is still doing this for us every day. Go give a good word to Kevin at Boots on the Ground. Go give a thanks to Blackjack, too. Make Nathan feel a little better about that dead laptop while he's deployed.
Oh, and Thank you.
