Memorial Day Thoughts

The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us
…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom;
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
- from The Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln Nov 19, 1865

May we never forget those who sacrificed themselves so that we can be what we are today and for those who serve so we can remain that way.


btw 6 Days and I head home!

12 Days, almost single digits

Well as title says 12 days and this morning I get an email from my dad saying he'd be in LA for E3, thing is should I stay or should i just head home... hurdles the hurdles. I doubt I can get access to E3 anyway a 3 day pass is $500, maybe if I could use my dads... oh well, should be a smooth transition back to civilian life. BAH is SF is greater then San Jose so I think I'll switch schools.
