I can't imagine we have regressed to the state that nobody has a clue why we celebrate memorial day anymore, but it seems to be getting worse every year. Anyway, a couple of of family pics for the day.

what this was all about
must make way for those
who know little.
And less than that.
And at last nothing less than nothing."
