Memorial Day

It’s Memorial Day, and a salute to all those who have served in the armed forces. They are the real heroes, particularly those who have seen combat. That is the real deal. Whenever you put your life on the line, it’s an example of courage and heroism that cannot be matched by any movie stars or TV showmen.

But Memorial Day has one other significance to me. It’s the day my eldest son was born, and to this day it's one of the greatest days of my life. He just turned fifteen, and he’s a freshman in high school right now. I’m very pleased with my son. He’s a chip off the old block. He’s an athlete, an artist, a musician, and maybe he’ll end up writing novels someday. You never know.
