Memorial Day I celebrate for those lost in or from battle. I choose to honor all living vets on November 11th. God bless all who served our country so valiently so we can serve good food today.
 
My friend from high school, David Cabrera. He was a Lt Col in the Army and was a social worker/psychiatrist for the soldiers in Afghanistan. He was killed by a road side bomb as they were traveling in Kabul in October 2011. He was 41. He left behind a wife and four children. He was an amazing person and is deeply missed by so, so many people.
I just looked him up on Bing and the first picture that comes up is of his wife kneeling in front of his grave...just heartbreaking.
