This is a photo of Jake Garn speaking at the dedication of the Veterans Memorial in town today. It is an awesome memorial and although I did not grow up in this area I know a lot of people that have their names etched into the granite blocks. It was a good thing to go to this dedication, if no more than just to be thankful that we are free because of many peoples sacrifices.
The honor guard reminded me of several times assisting with those honors at a funeral. I thought long and hard today about the three that died in the plane crash on B Hill many years ago. That was a tremendous loss to two communities. RIP Dave, Steve, and Randy.

Thanks for reminding me about what this day is about. I have not had anyone I know die while in the military. But it is good to stop and remember and mourn with those who mourn.
