Memorial Day

Today is the day we honor our veterans and the men who are fighting now in Iraq. If it wasn't for all the men who have fought and died years ago, America wouldn't be the free country it is today. We can go honor our veterans, then have picnics, go to the lake or just be a couch potatoe today. It is a beautiful day after all the terrible tornadoes that went through SE of us destroying any homes in 3 towns and killing 8 people. They think Parkersburg was hit by an F5 which is the worst. Most of the businesses in this little town are gone, including the high school and city hall. Many homes are completely gone and 70 people hurt. But in small towns, people gather together to help. They have about 60 fire departments there helping clean up and do what they can. Alot of hands make light work is an old saying but they have an awful lot of work to do.
