Happy Memorial Day!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~Ronald Reagan

"The True Soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him"  ~G.K. Chesterton
Thank you to all the soldiers and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice as we spend this day in memory and honor of you!  We appreciate the brave battle by those who are fighting for us to keep our freedom!  We pray you come home safely to the USA you love! 
This post is in memory of my Dad's namesake, William Davis Locke.  An Air Force POW pilot, now buried in Arlington National Cemetery.   The view of the Lincoln Memorial is breathtaking surrounded by the memorial markers of our bravest citizens.  Uncle Bill's service with full military honors, led by the Air Force band is on my mind and in my heart today and everyday. To learn more, you can purchase the book, The Major on Amazon.


Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!
