above the clouds

He quoted my lesson verbatim, "Memorial Day honors soldiers who have died in wars." It must've been a powerful connection for him to remember that lesson from months earlier.

To all the men and women of our Armed Services who have made the ultimate sacrifice for life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, you have my eternal gratitude.
