Remember the 56 who Signed the Declaration of Independence
Of those 56, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons, entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word.
The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed the most magnificent curtain line in history.
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Devine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”
Extraordinary men; the Politicians of the time, the Representatives of the People of the soon to be United States of America.

Memorial Day
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”
George S. Patton
Never forget our fallen brothers and sisters, tell their stories; pray for their families.

The wind went ahead and blew the sign hard enough to break the eyelet so we had to temporarily take her down.

Happy Veterans Day! We are so very proud of all the veterans and active duty service members in our family and our country. Semper Fi.

Special spotlight on a couple of our family's veterans:
First we have 1st Lieutenant James C Friday. Jim enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He would go on to be a key mathematician in the making and perfecting of the Norden Bombsight.

Second, Retired Lt Col. Thomas D Ellis of the U.S. Marine Corps. Commissioned in 1981, Tom's work included flying Cobra attack helicopters and commanding the VMU-1 squadron. From 29 Palms, CA to Pensacola, FL to Yokota Air Base, Japan Tom served the Marines for 20 years, retiring in 2001.
