Happy Memorial Day 2007

Let's remember and say thank you. Without them, chances are I would not be allowed to post today.

The following video and pictures were taken last February in the American cemetery of Coleville-sur-Mer, in Normandy.

The sound of the video is not very good because there was a lot of wind and it was filmed with a very small digital camera. I thought I'd share it anyway as the sound of the chimes playing America the Beautiful gave a special, moving atmosphere to the scene (Thanks to RV for editing the video the best he could).

Also, I would like to link to a video forwarded to me by Val from Texas last February or March. You may have seen it already, but today is the day to watch it again. Remembrance and thankfulness for those who died for us. Support for those who are currently fighting for our freedom. Here.

Thank you Carine. You are the reason the the brush can't be used to paint all alike.

Chere Carine,
Merci. Merci.

And to all who serve and have served,
we can never say "Thank you." enough.
