A great way to honor our heroes. Mean time, all the idiots on the left can
think of this weekend is whether they will grill hot dogs or burgers.

That is the best quote from Katrina.

Yes, you did mention that. One thing you can always feel blessed for is
that you and Cindy raised your son to be a courageous and caring person and
ingrained in him a sense of honor and patriotism.

I'm sure there are some idiots somewhere who will try to make such
statements this weekend.

It sounds like it was a very nice service.
