I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Wednesday Hero

This Weeks Post Was Suggested By Kathi

Netherlands American Military Cemetery and Memorial
Netherlands American Military Cemetery and Memorial

This week, Wednesday Hero isn't honoring a person or even an organization.  It's honoring an entire town.  A small town in Holland to be exact.  In September 1944 this area of Holland was devastated by retreating Nazis.  So much so that when American troops arrived and asked if they could use some of their land to bury their dead they were given 50 football fields worth.  In 1960 the Netherlands American Military Cemetery and Memorial was dedicated.  The townspeople have even went so far as to adopt each grave and in doing so their family has become responsible for taking care of it.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom.  For that I am proud to call them Hero.
