My Veteran- Happy Memorial Day

USS Elliot - Bob's Ship
 
Today we will be going to a church friend's house for a picnic - maybe
They will see him freshly bathed, a haircut and beard trimmed, polo shirt, crisp board shorts and boat shoes.
They will also see the bright red scooter with his pirate flag, the stooped posture, masked face and barely there voice.

 
I see a young man on the bow of a destroyer in full dress uniform with a grin as wide as the oceans as he gazes down at his bride on the dock.
I see him at the helm of his sailboat screaming across the Bay




Thank you to all the veterans that have made our lives possible.
Have a happy Memorial Day
