Day 5 - Memorial Day Honor

Today is Memorial Day. I think about some of the veterans who have died or have come home without a leg or arm or other body part from the Iraq War and it puts my broken hip injury in perspective. You can recover from a broken hip. How does it feel to have you legs blown off by a IED in Iran. Can you imagine the pain and rehabilitation from that and how it dramatically changes your life? My injury and rehab is a walk in the park by comparison. While it is not easy, I remind myself to not complain or have a pity party about my situation. Things will be getter slowly. I raise my box of apple juice -- since I can't drink frosties for a while -- to salute our veterans who fought in previous wars and the soldiers who are fighting in Iraq so we can remain free to pursue life, liberty, happiness, and ride singletrack. God Bless America.
