At 11:38 John, Ethan, and I went to Cook Baptist for their annual Memorial Day fish fry for veterans. They have had it for 7 or 8 years. I have been to 3 or 4. It is really very nice. Church volunteers cook and serve a state of the art Southern fish fry. Free of charge to all veterans and their spouse. John and Ethan filled in for my spouse.
Mickey Fitzgerald said smiling is a sign of weakness.
A big happy crowd.
Then at 2:00 I attended "Raising the Roof". A benefit Memorial Day program at the Dixie Theater. It was a benefit for the building fund for a new building for the VFW Post. Several organizations use the building.
Presentation of the Flag.
The Dixie Dancers put on a show.
The Piney Hills Chorus sang pretty.
When it came time to eat I was told to go first as I was the only veteran. What an honor!
I had a wonderful Memorial Day. Thanks to my wonderful family and many Ruston friends. They make it very difficult to be blue.
Im so glad you had a good day. YOU are my favorite soldier!
