Hello, My Friend!
I can just about guarantee this will be the shortest email you ever receive from me. You see, I write my letter to you on Mondays. Today is Monday, and it’s also Memorial Day. Kevin has been out of town for work and will be arriving home shortly. We will no doubt have a leisurely day at home. We’ll fire up the grill later. And in the meantime, I’m pausing to remember and be grateful for the countless Americans who have given their lives for our country. For my freedom. And so this short note is all you’ll receive from me this week.
Wishing you a beautiful week! Remember and be grateful . . . for so many things.

“O beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
till all success be nobleness,
and every gain divine.”
Katharine Lee Bates
