Memorial Day is an occasion today thank you to those who served in our branches of military and government, without selfishness, to protect our freedoms. It began as a day, in the 1800s, and eventually to honor those lost on either side from our Civil War. It has become a remembrance to many of all others passed before us, and will see many families traveling hundreds of miles for those resting place visits. my grandparents, on my mothers side, loyally made special trips to cemeteries all across Oklahoma and Arkansas to visit relatives sites. We wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day and we hope you say thank you to the families of those remaining on this special day. This one is a touching Memorial Day for many, and for us we have several special reasons. Though one of those we remember is an impression left to go beyond this year. On this Memorial Day we have a special prayer for the family of an unnamed young soldier this year. His dream abroad was to return home to the USA and complete a transaction with one of our dealers. He was “short stick” and in those final days abroad he was enthusiastic on fulfilling a fishing passion and enjoying it when he got home. Unfortunately that passion gained a different spiritual tier of engagement and was to never physically materialize and we will say a special prayer for that family grieving this weekend. We hope hes catching one every cast now. Good Bless the USA! RickLast edited by Bass Cat Boats on May 26th, 2017, 1:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.
