Here’s a picture of the first soldier I ever met, and the girl he met at a dance hall in England during World War II. They make a nice couple.
Thanks, Vets, and current soldiers of all stripes. I hope you live Happily Ever After, like those two people did:)
Two years ago on Memorial Day I kicked off my New York City Marathon fundraising project for the Pat Tillman Foundation, which is named after the NFL star who walked away from football to serve in the Mideast. He was killed in combat. The Foundation awards scholarships to military families. You and everybody who follows me here helped raise almost 5,000 bucks. And I got to sweat through all five boroughs of NYC. Of all the things I’ve done online, that’s been my favorite so far.
You can donate to the Tillman Foundation by clicking here.
You can also honor those who serve by donating to the Wounded Warrior Project. Here’s a link with more information.
Thanks! Happy Memorial Day. Stay cool.

No and no for me as well. :)I’ve been following swimimng, gymnastics, and diving of the Olympics. But other than the thrill and awe of the amazing performances and tight competition, I don’t watch sports.
