Dedicated to those who serve

The American Revolution
The War of 1812
The Mexican-American War
The Civil War
The Spanish-American War
World War I
World War II
The Korean War
The Vietnam War
Desert Storm
Operation Enduring Freedom
Iraqi Freedom

Soldiers have fought and are fighting around the world for us to be free to think, say, do, believe what ever we want, however we want.

Memorial Day is a day to remember all the people who fought for our freedom from 1792 until now. Please take a moment sometime in your day and think of them, thank them for what they have done and are doing for us.

I know lots of people are all excited because they get a 3-day weekend, time to grill outside and get together because you get the day off from work and get to hang out with your family. I'd think some time in this 3 day weekend you could think about those soldiers who are fighting for your freedom, attend your city's Memorial Day parade/ceremony, go to your local cemetary and find the veteran's graves, go to your local veteran's memorial, or even just stop a moment and say a silent thank you. Do something to remember them.

It never fails

The days I think about taking my camera with me, but decide against it, I see some of the sweetest/strangest looking cars. Like this one:

1970 Chevelle SS. It pulled up next to me as I was getting ready to cross the street. Could've used a little body work, there were some rusty spots, but otherwise it was a gorgeous car.

And this: Apparently it's a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood. The one I saw was more of a bluer shade of this green. I saw it at a light and was thinking it was sitting rather low on its front tire, that's when it began to bob. Then it bobbed up (bouncing, not quite sure how to describe it, but I'm sure you've seen these types of cars before) and down a couple times, and drove off. I laughed.

I also saw my neighbor driving one of his classic cars, naturally I have no idea what it is, and when I found a picture, I wasn't able to copy it and upload it here, so you all could help me out. I'll keep looking though.

VOTE!!

Please go out and vote today. We've been hearing about this election for over a year, there's no way you didn't know it was coming. I don't care who you vote for, just vote. The only people I don't want voting (this may come back and bite me in the ass), are the people who are only voting for someone because they are black, because they look better than the other candidate, because you're parents are voting for that candidate. If you're going to vote, make sure you have done research on the person you're voting for, make sure some of their ideals and platforms match up with your beliefs. DO NOT vote for someone because you flipped a coin and they were heads. DO the research.
