Memorial Day

Kitties, it's Memorial Day.  This day has always been special to my mom.  She remembers living in Europe and being able to go onto Military bases that had a NATO presence, and wherever she was seeing the parades and hearing the music by the Military bands stationed at the various bases on Memorial Day.  Always a show of shows to her..as she missed home a lot.  Seeing our flag waving on the bases was so meaningful as she was so far away from America.

She said she is one who loves her Country.

Katie my Mom said the same thing....having been in a military family and traveled the world it was always a proud day when there was celebration on post. Proud soldiers who served their country and their families united in their love of the USA no matter WHERE they were serving.

Hugs, Teddy

They say you don't miss something till it's not there. I guess that's what went down when your mom was overseas. She is a good patriotic girl. So are you, KI. Great picture of you for Memorial Day!

Love and licks,
