Filling a request

Hello devoted TECHNOSAILOR readers…it me GEMINI 38 (formally The Angry Black Man) filling in on a special request for my brother. I see there have already been a couple of guess entries on Memorial Day so I will drop just a quick blurb.

Memorial Day has a more personal meaning for me because it is my birthday weekend/holiday. I have served in the Army and I know what it feels like to be away from home and my family. I also know what it feels like to be representing the USA in places other than the USA. I will never froget riding through a small town in Germany and seeing the American flag being flown upside down. That really crushed me because here I was being stereotyped by someone who didn’t know me. Here I was being held accountable for some actions I didn’t do.

Kind of reminds me of being here in the USA but that is another entry another time.

Anyway I am always looking forward to Memorial Day because I do take the time to reflect the year and this year I didn’t party like I normally would. I did on the day of my birthday and that was just with my family. I drove my wife to VA Beach to celebrate with her best friend who just had a baby. It was kinda cool to get away but the ride would have sucked if my wife wasn’t with me.

Anyway I am so greatful to become 1 year wiser.

Aaron should be back in the pocket shortly and congrats to him. I swear dude you are on a roll and I am so hoping to one day be as fruitful in this blogging game just like you.

Each One, Teach one
