To commemorate Memorial Day, I haven't done anything besides eat red, white and blue ice cream this weekend. :(  I think I can do better.

Well, I still didn't do anything special to honor those who never made it back, but I talked to a veteran on the phone for the better part of 2 hours on Memorial Day.
