Holiday Happings

Its's great to get to Memorial day as this means nice parades to go to and lots of friends want to see you again. I think I am going to spend this day just remembering my family,ex wife Michelle and my 2 dogs that died Lester,Charlie and 1 dog Brownie who was stolen from me in Nov. 2007 still living when stolen . I hope brownie that he's alive still and I will see him someday sooner and get him back from the people who stole him. I remember my african grey bird named bimini,momma rabbit my new zealand and the other a mini rex rabbit named chocolate as well as my lifetime freinds who have made my world a nicer place to live in. I thank all of them for what they have done and for supporting me when no one wanted to do that. I must allways thank you to God and his family for all the great things that he has given me and done for me so that with this life has made it better for me. I am going to go to the beach today and hopefully see a parade this day and fireworks too.. I love Memorial Day for some things but the loss of people and animals this day is a day to remember them and to be sad at thier being gone.. I miss you all and will not forget all of you that I have known and cared for over my life time. This is what Memorial Day means to me plus a celebration of this country and what it used to stand for being free but sadly and unfortunately no longer do we as a people and a nation have freedom.

Monday today is Memorial Day May 25th 2009

Today is Memorial Day and so I thought I would write this blog today in memory of the members of my family who are dead. They served this country with great service both public and private in their life and did many things to emprove the world. I think of my father who was the designer and brains of most of the Navy ship building in this country and his designs and engineering genius could not be matched by anyone living. He silently created in his little office at General Dynamics and other places he worked over his lifetime designs for ships,aircraft and for the space program at NASA a veriety of components that were far advanced in the future and gave this country a unique advantage. My father was a master inventor and engineering genius that is in secret projects his designs ships,planes,all types of other components he created. I know that all that stuff is still being used to advance the cause of space exploration and even the modern passenger jet made by Boeing has most if not all his design and technology in it. The Navy and all the other service branches uses his inventions and designs to better the advantage of this country. I honor a simple man today who served in the korean war aboard ship and in too many other places on this planet that is earth and got a few medals for military service. It really was and is his inventions and designs that he got no public credit for, but that made the most difference for this country and the whole world. My father sought to make a difference by advancing the technology and knowledge of all humanity but sadly he recieved no public Presidential Freedom medal or any public recognition for the all the important inventions he created and developed over his life time. Even today a real hero is easily forgotten and dismissed and that is what has happened to my father since he died in 2007 by all the people and countries of the world and my Dad was a real hero who does deserve a place in national honor and buriel in Arlington cemetary for the great things he did and for all he spoke out in favor of this country. He championed the counsitution and spoke in favor of the right to free speech and the right to bear arms and all other things related to the independance of America. I remember him speaking in front of many state and national congress hearings on first and second etc. rights over his lifetime and he was widely listened to and many of ideas were adopted into law. Why does a man who gave so much to this country and to all of mankind be left to be forgotten?? I say it is time to honor him the way he does deserves and put him in Arlington National Cemetary and give him the public military funeral he really wanted and give him many nationl honors by the current President Oboma and all the past living Presidents should get together and do this for him.. I remember my Granny who worked in a airplane factory in up state New York making her contribution to the war effort during World War 2 and rivetted planes to together so the could support this counties freedom. I remember both of my uncle by marriage George who was the top gun pilot who started along with three other pilots in the NAVY who started the TOP GUN FLIGHT SCHOOL in Merimar California and was the first instructor at the school to teach pilots to live on the edge and be the best ones in the whole world He was the first top gun ace pilot during korea and vietman war. This made him special as it is but he just made more sucesses in private collaboration with the Navy ove his life. He was also a inventor and designer of many plane and submarine advancements in his Navy and affliliations with the navy and other branches of service. So I honor his success and accomplishments on this day as well as my great uncle chester who served in ever jungle in the pacific area. He remains the first one to be military to ever have reached the top of the island as a marine in Iwo Gima which is called Mount Saribacchi and he was one of seven men standing there when the famed picture was taken showing him and his marine buddies holding the flag smoking a cigerette. So today I honor a man who got the congressional medal of honor and many other medals in marines in the south pacific fighting the japanese and others during World War 2. These are some of my family and what they did to advance freedom,tecnology, and human knowledge over all their lifetimes so it is time honor their accomplishments and remember them on this Memorial Day.. I wish they were all still living so they could coninue their contributions to mankind and freedom.
