I never enlisted in the military.  Just wasn’t something that I wanted to do.  But…my dad was in the Army, I had a brother retire from the Navy after 20 years, and my other two brothers also were in the military. I have three cousins, three uncles, one aunt, and my grandpa all served.  So, as Memorial Day comes around I want to pay my respects to these honorable soldiers past and of course, the present.

I caught a story on www.usatoday.com of a soldier who recently passed.  He was burned over 90+ percent of his body and should not have lived as long as he did.  And because he did, he was able to inspire and provide hope to others.  Please read his story.  Its a great one.

Regards,

Bobby
