i still remember chasing off some local punk kids who were trying to climb the memorial!?! this was about 6pmish some summer night a couple years or so ago and next thing i knew, a cop was pulling me over because the kids had gone and complained about my actions toward them. excuse me, what about their actions, i inquired and the cop basically said what they don't witness themselves, it just never happened.

that SAYS so MUCH about things going on nowadays, eh?

by the by, memorial day used to be called "decoration day" as a memorial to the fallen from the war between the states (civil war)...and now it honors ALL those who have fallen in defense of our free country and state.

redbullard said it best: remember the fallen, never forget.

amen to that.
