Memorial Day Quotes, Famous Memorial Day Quotes, Memorial Day Quotations, Sayings Decoration Day

I spent yesterday touring Hopkins County cemetery sites to show respect like my family has done for years to all the loved ones in memory and all of the relatives who served our country so well. I sent this link in an email because its important we not forget. I always visit the grave sites of my family, my friends, and coworkers because they mean something to me still. It is a time of remembering Mom putting flowers on her mother's monument, and our family repeating it yesterday. Of trips where Uncle Buford would tell me stories about the folks he knew under various monuments, or my scraping grass clippings hiding a veteran's brass foot marker date away so it could be in the sun again. So many did so much and we can do so little now for them, but I try to keep them warm in memory still.

Tailored Defense Incorporated - Welcome to Tailored Defense Incorporated

I found in an era where citizens have to be proactive, knowledge can help prevent damage, and good folks can be safer thinking out a plan before a robbery or assault on your home or person that going to professionals of this quality really helps. I am a great believer in Crime-stopper programs, church efforts to change people for the better, and networking to learn from the best. Its a comfort locally to have access to folks that can help you think through any weakness in your planning and upgrade and keep skill levels high. Finding out the staff are people friendly folks, it really helps learn to be proactively safer for your loved ones. Having been robbed in broad daylight where a rock was pitched through a deadbolt locked door and they walked in the hole in the glass, I have learned to use layers. I have a neighbor watch, locked gates at the driveway, intricate monitored burglar alarms, and folks that will come to help me. I was someone without any item that would have made me a special target. But having someone go through your sock drawers and throwing things around while carrying my Axe inside my house in their hands from multiple rooms was not a comforting thought. Having professionals and specialists to draw upon their knowledge is a real comfort. Since this is Memorial Day weekend and my mother's anniversary where she was thrown into Coiltown Lake on her wedding night, its a special weekend. This would be a good weekend to see a veteran and tell them how much you appreciate them or buy a soldier or National Guard fellow a cup of coffee. I had an uncle in Patton's army that helped liberate a concentration camp, an uncle that was in Germany in the military police, and an uncle who fought in Guam and the Philippines and I can't buy them a cup of coffee now that they are gone. We are about to leave to put red, white, and blue flower arrangements on their graves and I wish I could. I also worked with some quality folks that were in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and in their memory, its a good time to hug a veteran.

Battle of Sacramento, KY

We went today to see the end of the week where the white canvas tents covered the fields and ladies in hoop skirts dodged around horses on a scorching hot day. We found Will Frost with his partner left for Nortonville with little on him and his saddle broken. We ended up watering his horses, getting his gear hauled for him to the Springer Road lean to he was staying at with the horses, and tomorrow he will head out to Reno's Tack store to get his saddle fixed. We gave him our supper and water and I brought him back to Diana holding the horses and gave him $60.00 to ensure he was safe and he had earned some helping put down tents and help folks pack for leaving. I did get to visit with my EMA friends from McLean County who were helping out along with the fire department. I ended up falling on straw near a hidden tree root trying to help Diana get the horses off the picket line and ended up busting my right hip on someone else's straw trying to help someone. I am black and blue and off to a hot shower. No good deed goes unpunished. Hopefully he will be safe as he next heads to Evansville on his way to an Indiana battle reenactment somewhere in two weeks. Hopefully my tithe went to a good cause. Battle of Sacramento, KY

What makes people happy? – Religion - CNN.com Blogs

Concepts involved in what does it take to make a person happy. With Jeffery Paul Prow waiting on a kidney for Riley Hospital in Indianapolis to help him heal which may include needing a pancreas while on an insulin pump in his young age, having good health is important. I am lucky to take horse riding dressage lessons on a grandson of Secretariat from a family that will be leaving all their material possessions behind and moving to Italy to be missionary workers for two years with their child. It takes a strong person to give up all their comforts and only live to give to others. Trinity Stables in Robards has always been a good influence in the area and helped many horse people, so one thing you might say is folks that put others before themselves tend to be happy people while in the battle to make things better. A good missionary is never a wimp. A good person tends to be a sheepdog. I read a quote recently that some folks are sheep and never expect a crime to impact them, some folks are wolves and take from weaker and enjoy the power or may lack empathy and swat a person like a fly, and some folks tend to be sheepdogs and get in the game to make things better while being situationally aware of their surroundings and reading body language of folks around them like reading a horses body language. Today my lesson was on keeping your hands still, and legs still, and turning with core muscles to weave Sparky in and out of barriers. Mowing with a 360 Troy mower from Stanley and Sons in Nebo today I thought while I was mowing that I lean into the tree trunk on a hill the same way to balance the mower. I know several folks in nursing homes that cry in the night and want to leave this planet and escape living in a 6 by 8 nursing home bed they will die in and some are still happy when they see their kids, get ice cream, or can interact with a nurse and smile. You can be happy in a cave or a place, be miserable with things, or unhappy with stuff, or be filled with joy smelling the honeysuckle on my fence or watching the rabbit run by the cat in the back yard hiding out as I went by him. He is a calico orange and white that I have caught on a the wildlife camera before. We are in his range. There were indigo buntings on my bird feeder, I was able to help some folks I really like recently, and of all things bringing peanut butter cookies to a teacher in her 90's meant a lot to me seeing her smile. Sometimes doing tai chi in a pasture while the goat watches as I warm up for horse lessons or doing Repulse Monkey form while the donkey Leroy watches with ears out like a plane as he munches hay and thinks about it can make you happy. Sometimes what helps me the most is learning new things. I am getting involved with the local www.hopkinscountytcrimestoppers.com group and the Hopkins County Historical Society. It is always neat to deal with folks that loves books and the value of things that made us what we are. I will be heading toward Fort Campbell soon for some training and many are about to be dispatched overseas to try and protect folks like me. If you can buy lunch for a soldier or a policeman, it might be a good thing to do as Memorial Day approaches. It might even make you happy. What makes people happy? – Religion - CNN.com Blogs

The other item was there are 10 vulnerabilities in Adobe Shockwave which means it is important to update it if you need it and uninstall if you don't.

Isn't it human that now the Internet is now one of the things we cannot seem to be able to do without. When I was robbed, I was most upset over not being able to log on to get to accounts. As soon as I got a borrowed keyboard from Computer Knights, and mouse while my replacements came in, I was able to change all my passwords, check all accounts, and update everywhere with some intense activity. It even allowed me to print out for the deputy color photos of the items stolen with invoices and serial numbers. I was in withdrawal. Live long and prosper. 10 Things We Can't Live Without - Yahoo!

Frost Rides Nationwide on Prayers and Shoe Strings

Will Frost is sleeping in my tack room and today will start out to the battle front at Sacramento for next weekend. We all ate at Hazel's for roast beef dinner last night and I fed him at Tucker's on South Main for lunch and got to visit with my friend Tom Pendley. Mr. Frost's two horses are rested, fed, watered, have new shoes, and a new bit in a bridle and should be in much better shape. Frost Rides Nationwide on Prayers and Shoe Strings

Walking is not something that is without its science.

Diana and I met Will Frost today and ate supper with him bedding down in the tack room tonight with his two horses. He is on his way to the Sacramento Civil War reenactment site tomorrow. Diana gave him hay, water, and Hazel and Frank fed him and washed his clothes for him. He is sleeping near our Belle tonight and is dry and safe on straw. He knows the writer of Forrest Gump, has been trained as a clown, and has done Charlie Chaplain impressions as a performance artist on Venice Beach near a restaurant called Charlie's Place. He is actually traveling the country on horse back going where he wants and can quote things from Chaplains life and his stay with Amish and Mennonites who make tack for horses and know how to drive.

I met an excellent instructor in tactical defense and pistol craft in Hopkinsville recently who is based out of Fort Campbell. Aquila Bey is so good I could recommend him to anyone who was interested in self defense training from a professional who is also a NRA certified instructor and a people kind of person. He knows a great deal about the subject and can take a contrary firearm that is brand new and make it work, which takes skill. I watched him in action and it was very impressive.
