TODAY IS SATURDAY THE 26TH DAY OF MAY, 2012, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BEGINS

Today starts the Holiday Festivities for Memorial Day.  We all know to thank our Vets for all they have done to keep us free.  Monday will be the official day but we should do it all year and many do I suppose.  For some reason, I have no idea why, which is nothing new, Abraham Lincoln popped into my head and his Gettysbutg address.  It has been forever since I read it because I hated History in school.  I hated just about everything for that matter except sneaking smokes in the mens room in between classes...But I digress,(Simple).  So  we dont lose a Saturday Post, post Vodka Day, here is Abe and his thoughts........

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I did always like "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people"

Simple, why can't you sit down with Plain and write something inspiring for the Citizens.......The Villesburg Proclamation.........

I guess while I am here TAPS would be in order....Just in case the Grey Goose Boy doesn't come back.......So..................TAPS....stay out of harms way........Until Sunday...........At Least.......
