Remembering those who served our country on this Memorial Day.
On This Memorial Day
Katy Perry goes Retro with “Thinking of You”
I simply love Katy Perry’s music video Thinking of You – it’s so retro! This World War II era video shows Katy in many lovely outfits. It is a bit of a tearjerker, but it is definitely worth watching.
Watch the video on YouTube here.

We must make sure that our fighting men have enough Beech-Nut gum!

Memorial Day
As we relax on this holiday, let us take a moment and think of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
