"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning;
I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags
were appropriate on Decoration Day.
I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.
We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did."
~Benjamin Harrison
Wishing you all a peaceful & safe
Memorial Day weekend...

So happy to hear Peter is on the mend.
Happy Memorial Day to you.

Oh, Lori, you too...and tell Peter that we are thinking of him in his recovery.
Glad Peter is mending, it must be driving him crazy to be idol. Memorial day, remember flags on only half staff until noon, then hoisted to the top of flag pole. In my case at noon the black mourning banner comes off. Hope your week end is a safe and sunny one.
