This wasn’t my first welcome back to Spring Creek Basin after my return from Texas, but it was maybe the third. Pretty nice of Buckeye and his ladies and baby girl to greet me at the west boundary.
Today, Memorial Day, is more than a start-of-summer celebratory holiday and third day of the three-day weekend. It’s the day we as a nation remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending America’s freedoms. A hope is that it can be also a day to put aside political and ideological differences and remember what unites us all: love of independence, freedom and family, our unique way of life. Our service men and women who died protecting the freedoms of this country, our diversity and pride in what makes us Americans, made their personal sacrifices so we can enjoy all of the above.
As we celebrate, don’t forget those sacrifices … and what unites these United States.

Well said, TJ. Remembering all who selflessly laid down their lives for the rest of us that we may enjoy the indescribible privilege of living on in freedom. What a precious gift they have given us and may we never forget them. Happy Memorial Day.
Most of us can never understand what it takes to serve … especially to the point of no return.
Yes – what unites SHOULD be stronger than all these petty differences – hope someday it is!
I hope so, too.
Well said TJ. Thank you
🙂
I agree! It is our military that keeps us free!
We’re grateful also to the military families. They truly know the meaning of sacrifice.
That one’s a beauty!!
Hope all is well with you!!
It’s so beautiful out here right now. All is well … but we’d like some more rain. 🙂
Amen TJ!
