I keep this quote taped under my monitor at work. It is applicable to many circumstances in life and I thought it appropriate on this Memorial Day. Thanks to our Military, we enjoy the freedoms this country has to offer. Keep up the good work!!
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

I went to a memorial service here in McKinney yesterday. The local Boy Scouts had gone through the cemetary and placed a year correct flag over headstones for veterans from as far back as the Texas war for Independance. There were Texas, Confederate and many different American Flags flying over them. I noticed several other vets wandering from flag to flag saying thanks to the soldiers. It was really amazing how close I felt to vets that died 100 years before I was born. Thanks to Boy Scout troop 303 and to all the veterans out there.
