Memorial Day Weekend
 

So does anyone have any big plans this weekend? We are heading down to Nags Head to enjoy the beach for a few days and then heading home for a pool party Monday.

Lets not forget the reason for Memorial Day and the Men & Women who died for our freedoms.

This will be the first of many Memorial Day weekends where I spend celebrating my nieces birthday. she will be one years old on 5/28. Should be a good time. I just have to remember to go slow on route one becasue they will be out in force this weekend.

And thank you all to those who gave up their lives so we can enjoy this great country!

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

God Bless all who have, do, and will serve. May Your perpetual light shine upon our brothers and sisters who died in service to us.

I've posted this before, but it's always important to remember....

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,

I've got a lot of work to do this weekend, but the wife and I leave first thing Tuesday AM for a week in Siesta Key, FL for our 1 yr wedding anniversary. I can't freaking wait.

God bless the men and women of our Armed Forces and their families, and God bless the USA.

Have a great weekend, Warpathers.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

Just a trip down to Mom & Dad's beach house in Rehoboth. Probably some burgers and dogs, some steamed crabs and some beers. Then wander back sometime Monday to prepare for the weekly grind.

Big thanks to those who serve and who have served.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

Hoping to get out on the lake this weekend if the t-storms let up.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

Buying a new gas grill after work today.
Going to get some big flower pot things to put out in front of my house and put some american flags in em. Thinking about putting up a flag holder out front as well and a nice size american flag but i dont have the right tools to drill into brick.
BBQin tonight to do a test run on the new grill, fishing early tomorrow morning, hopefully grilling the fish I catch in the afternoon with some friends coming over, big drunken debauchery bbq on sunday in highlandtown hon with a bunch of bartenders and bar owners.
Going into work on monday for a few hours to work with an intern on a dc court of appeals brief I have to file next week. That sucks.

Thank you to the men and women of our armed forces. Just got some pics of my grand dad when he was in the navy, so I will def remember him, my father and uncles who served as well as sgt. Bubba Bunting.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

I went for a run in the hood next to my work. I saw like 8 smokers out on drive ways, got me choked just started thinking about SBF and all the memories on here with him.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

I'll probably be spending most of my time in the backyard.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

Have you ever been with your wife's or girlfriend's family during thanksgiving or christmas and her crazy aunt and uncle talk about coming down to see your new house but you dont hear from them for months, maybe years afterwards?

Well apparently my lady's aunt and uncle are visiting this weekend. They are straight up wild.

My nice relaxing BBQ weekend has just turned into a drunken drama fest. Sad thing is we have to hide our valuables.....shit, you guys dont even know the drama storm thats coming my way.

All you need is a drill and a masonry drill bit. It best if you can drill the holes in the mortor only and avoid drilling in the bricks. It will not hurt drilling into the bricks but if anyone wants to remove the flag holder its easier to repair the mortor. What kind of fish are you going after.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

I honestly havent been fishing yet this season but I just picked up my salt water reel and rod from my parents then I got my 2 light duty combos.

Thinking of going down to sandy point, would love to go down to point lookout though (southern most tip of MD).

Im thinking sandy point or trying this small state park near balt city that has a point shooting out into the bay.

I usually do salty sardines with a 2 hook bottom rig, crack some beers and wait for the hit. I enjoy what I call "lazy boy" fishing, just tossing a line out there and letting it sit.

[B]What kinda of bait do you suggest for some bottom fishing in the bay around this time?[/B]
I got a 3/4 inch drill last week so i need to just go ahead and get that mason drill.

Well if your going after croakers I use squid and you can also catch flounder on squid. I always have squid when we go fishing because so many different fish will eat squid.

LOL, that's not our place I just posted that as a joke. Our place is only about 1800 sq ft just big enough to get away and have a few friends down. It perfect weather down here in Nags Head just killing time before hitting the beach. I just went to the store so I don't have to drive and I have two cases on ice. If anyone is heading this way don't drink and drive and don't speed because the cops are out in full force.

Headed to Pungo Strawberry Festival in a few.

Sounds like a good time. If I'm correct you go just about every year.

[quote=firstdown;804939]Sounds like a good time. If I'm correct you go just about every year.[/quote]Absolutely, nothing like a good sunburn, turkey leg, bbq sandwich, and funnel cake. Hope Nags Head was a good time.

....amen.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend
 

First that was a kick ass picture man ! I've never served in the military and I'm amazed at the men and women that fight for us as well as those all over the world to know their freedoms. This is a picture of my dad while he was away at Vietnam. My father did 2 tours, and even though he did not die there. The stories that my family have told me about who he was before and after he went let me know that a part of him died over there. I know that my dad had hella balls though. He told me a story about how he got his Purple Heart and I'll tell it to you all.

I saw a scar on his leg and asked him about it, I was about 8 at the time. He said that one night they were out and they started to take fire. His Sgt got hit and they were leaving to get to their extraction point and he grabbed his Sgt to take him out. My dad said that he ran while his Sgt fired to protect his back. He told me that by the time he got to their meet up spot that he layed his Sgts body down and his head was gone. My father had been shot in the back and took shrapnel in his leg. I didn't know who he was before he left, because I wasn't born but I miss the man that came back. He was different from what I've heard but that was my dad. At his funeral I remember seeing a lot of men crying and saluting my dads casket, they shook my hand and told me about him, I don't know who they were but...I understand now more that when I was 9.

If there are any of you here that are in any branches of our military I say Thank You. From the bottom of my heart, thank you !

That's my father Bernard Michael Plummer in Song Be, Vietnam. They called him Bro Wine.

Be easy folks !
