Happy Memorial Day

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

"Hippie" inserting flower into guard's gun during an anti-Vietnam protest in the late '60s.

To all American Troops:
To those who fought in large wars, or who fought in small battles;
Those who fought for what they believed in, or were drafted against their wills,
You still fought for me either way;
To those who are buried in Arlington National Cemetery,
And to the Unknown Soldier;
To both my grandfathers, and many grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and mothers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends and acquaintances around the world;
This day is for you.
Thank you.


Happy Memorial Day
