Enjoy your 3 day weekend

Put up a new flag at sunrise, I usually have to change it out once a year so today is a damn good reminder to put up a new one. Flew at half staff with the First Navy Jack till noon.

Spc. Chris Eckardt was one of the soldiers who came from Wisconsin to backfill our unit when we deployed in 2003.

I didn't know him much more than our year together but he was a damn good man on his way to starting his life with his family. Godspeed and RIP Sgt. Chris Eckardt :usa:












absent companions...
 
Stopped by the Sacramento valley national cemetery on my way home from Rubicon and sent out a salute to the ranks....
 
I had to work today.

Some of the veterans in the HOA put together a VFW post a couple years ago, I’ve been on the fence about joining.

Today they did a ceremony for memorial day for the community. I couldn’t attend because of work. I was getting a little annoyed with people wishing me a “happy memorial day”. At some point I heard the first notes of Taps in the distance. I stopped what I was doing because I couldn’t talk, “my allergies” were hitting me hard.

To those who gave all, thank you, you will not be forgotten :usa: 🥃

I did a few funeral details when I was in, after those Taps always makes my allergies act up.:usa:
