Yes, I realize I’m late. I’m just that way.
Hope everyone had a good weekend, a long holiday weekend here in the US. A weekend at the in-laws was classic American summer – warm, mostly sunny, pleasant weather all weekend. Plenty of family, and lots of good food. And in our case, lots of kids running around. It’s so much more convenient when you have several kids, since they typically entertain each other quite well, leaving more time for the adults to have, well, adult conversations.
In any case, a happy one to all. And in particular, a moment of gratitude to thank all the honorably serving members of the US armed forces, wherever or whenever they may have served.
You can come from all aspects of the political spectrum, you can agree or disagree with the political leaders, but I really think you have to salute and appreciate the serving members of the US armed forces. (Well, at least if you’re a US citizen or ally; opinions in other countries may vary; although perhaps you have your own ‘honor our country’s defenders’ day of some sort or another – I hope!)
And a very special thanks to my grandfather, CPT (Ret.) Edmond H. Curcuru, USMA Jun’43, for his service in combat during WWII.
