While at the beach each year,

we hike to a special spot, taking an American flag with us,

While at the top of the mountain,

Larry hangs a flag and note on the lean to.

The note asks a Veteran to accept this flag

in honor of our Uncle Bruce.

Bruce was one of my favorite people in the world

and

this is our way of remembering him and honoring him each year.

In the note, I ask a veteran to write to us if he or she feels comfortable.

The past years, I have always heard from the recipient of the flag.

Our 2017 hike, on Kaua’i, was two weeks ago

and

I have not heard from anyone. ……Yet.

But I hope we hear something soon.

***

Life at home is getting back to normal.

Jet lag is diminishing,

we miss Libby pug dog like crazy

and

Camp Robi starts again tomorrow.

Onward and upward!

Please do me a favor?

Today, tell someone special in your life how much they mean to you.

Love you, YOU are special.
