Happy Memorial Day


THE AMERICAN HERO

by Roger Robicheau
The American Hero always comes through
To capture our hearts with a spirit so true
Some proudly are soldiers who march in harm’s way
Insuring our freedom, courageous they stay
While others come forth as civilians so brave
Determined in purpose, so steadfast to save
We should always keep clear a place in our heart
For each has a value beyond precious art
Their duty to country will not be surpassed
Please honor their courage, for some it’s their last
We live in a world which can be hard to bear
Thank God for these people, how greatly they care
Do ponder new heroes and what they will face
And pray for their safety no matter their place
Our heritage brings out the best, we all know
Our great book of heroes is destined to grow



Have a safe and fun Memorial Day!!!  ManCat Monday will return next week!

    We are remembering all those that we have love and lost. And we are honoring the men and women in uniform that fight for our freedom.

    Hope your trip up to St Augustine is fun! I believe St Augustine fared better than Jacksonville because of Beryl.
