Memorial Day 2011, Monday

• I just spent a long weekend with special folks in Washington DC.  It was a wonderful weekend with folks who are very serious when they come to their hopes and dreams for our country.  They were amazingly specific and articulate with regard to ideals and vision.
• It's truly unfortunate that more than half of our country that claims to have a better "vision" has never bravely stepped up to the plate and offered "everything" like my friends who have served or like those that in fact gave "their all" in service of country.
• My closing thought...."Words come cheap.  Measure a man (woman) by their deeds."
• If the above concepts offend you....I'm glad.  It means that freedom of speech is still a right.  
• Perhaps, the discussion may cause you to actually consider reality vice a fantasy world of perfection that never will exist in this world...but will in the next.
