REMINDER: Please participate in the National Moment of Remembrance, which will be held at 3 pm this Memorial Day. Let's all stand together, unified in spirit for 60 seconds of respectful silence!

Good Afternoon! School's out for the Summer, the weather is getting warmer, and our activities are going to start coming at us fast and furious!!! Get your calendars out and mark the following dates:

--Every Tuesday evening at 6 pm, we meet at the Thornton Park Pavilion for our "Tour of Iraq". Please plan to join us, but if you cannot, please walk on your own and email me with your mileage every Sunday. On June 3rd, I will have a map of Iraq, with current progress through Iraq marked! If you have a loved one in Iraq, please email me with their location, I will mark it on the map, and we will make sure we stop by for a visit! By the way--did you see the FRONT PAGE ARTICLE (WITH PICTURES!!!) in Sunday's paper about the Tour?? It featured Chris and Lisa Sallade and other parents and spouses who walk!

--On Friday, May 30th, there is (tentatively scheduled) a "Support the Troops" night at the Old Downtown Tavern in Bedford. Details will follow as soon as they are available!

--Please continue to keep all our military personnel in your thoughts and prayers! Continue to send cards, letters of support and encouragement, and boxes to all the young men and women serving in our Armed Forces. God Bless Our Troops and their families back home! Please keep us up-to-date with address changes. We are continually sending out cards and letters, and we hate having them returned!!

Thanks for everything you do for our young men and women serving this great nation of ours! Remember that Memorial Day is so much more than just a day off work!
