i have fond memorial day memories that i think about every memorial day. one of them is sean elliott's "memorial day miracle"...the greatest shot in spurs franchise history. as much as i love the spurs that memory pales in comparison when i consider the meaning of memorial day. today, (and every day) i honor the many brave who have sacrificed so much, even everything, for this great nation. i was touched numerous times during a memorial day themed church meeting yesterday...and these words from "America the Beautiful" particularly struck a chord with me...
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
God bless America.
