Here it is Memorial Day Weekend
WE give thanks to all the servicemen and woman who gave their lives and their service to our country. This includes my uncles and my father, my husband(Big Kahuna)My friends and thier sons. We do not forget them. I have sold the poppies. I have seen the flags, I have carries the flag, I have marched, I have sold the poppies at the stores. God bless them
Now in the Twilight of these years the weekend has not become the weekend of travels, not all those BBQ picknics in the park with children, aunts , uncles & cousins, not going to the beach for fear of skin cancer. It has become the weekend of RACING!
It starts our with the Qualifying on Thursday afernoon into evening. Then on Friday we have Indy qualifying. Then Friday night we have the CRaftsman Truck Race.
Saturday afternoon we have Nationwide Qualifying, NASCAR practice and Nationwide Serries Race.SUNDAY we have INDY 500, the COCA COLA 600 and The REcaps.
At least on Monday we have Memorial Day to rethink the actual reason for the weekend which was not “Let’s go racing boys” because I am sure the boys at Normandy beach did NOT hear those words before hiting the beach……………
