    Memorial Day 2008

    Once again Memorial day is upon us and I am sure most of us have some trip or event planned. Its the start of summer and fishing season and if you live in Minnesota the snow is finally gone and the ice on the lakes has melted. The mosquitoes are not here yet and its a great time of the year. The wife and I have been to the cemetery's . Every year we do five different ones to pay tribute to fallen buddies, family and friends. Its kinda nice to see the cemetery's in such fine shape. I am headed to Webster City Iowa for the first shoot of the season for us flat landers and one has to notice the cemetery at Webster City. It is one of the largest in the area and is kept up like no other. Rows and Rows of flags all dress right dress. It tells me that the  people in the area care and thats there way of saying thanks. Which leads me to this link  http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/shortmovie.php 

    Take a minute to watch it and next time you see a Vet tell him or her thanks.... its not hard to do at all. 

    Ryan and myself would like to wish everyone  a great memorial weekend and remember to say thanks.

    I made a trip to Sioux falls  S.D. this week-end and took the famaly to the Zoo. We also stopped at a few cemeterys around the state.

    The cemetery that really catches my eye is the one in central Mn. by a town called Belgrade..
