Mr. McPeek: Happy Memorial Day
By MrMcPeek | May 31, 2010
Happy Memorial Day!!
“The patriot’s blood is the seed of Freedom’s tree.” — Thomas Campbell
As I write to you on this Memorial Day 2010, I sit at work with thoughts of home. Knowing there will be barbaques to attend, and graduation parties occuring, I am really missing home and my family and friends today. Walking into work this morning, the flags are at half-mast again. Another fallen warrior is being sent home today. I really felt the true meaning of Memorial Day. We are to honor our servicemen and women who have paid the ultimate price for freedom. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” — General George S. Patton
Well it has been a few weeks since my last email to all of you. Things are starting to get a little crazy here over the past couple of weeks. The work load is increasing due to my co-workers are being sent outside of the base to remote locations in Afghanistan to set up Forward Operation Bases (FOBs). Please keep them in your prayers and ask for their safe return. I have been tasked to pick up their share of the workload so it has been keeping me on my toes.
I hope this message finds you all well. Have a SAFE and HAPPY Memorial Day!!
Best Regards,
Doug McPeek
