Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States. On this day, which occurs every year on the last Monday of May, we remember the men and women who have died while serving our country.

Many people on this day will visit cemeteries and memorials placing an American flag at graves to honor our fallen heroes.

Let’s remember that appreciation is not only one day out of the year – it’s year round.

Thank you to all of those who have died while serving our great country! I think this picture says it all.

 

Bringing Easy Home

Easy was my brother from a different mother.  When I started blogging years ago, Easy was one of the first anipals I met.  He was always there with a quick bark or comforting paw.  His stories were awesome and we especially loved those about a certain little Whiskey in his hood – hilarious!  Above is one of my favorite pictures of brother Easy.  I think we all think about 2016 the same way!

Love ❤️ you brother – always!

 

 

Our Hearts are Broken

Our hearts are so broken here at the Hotel Thompson this morning.  We woke up to hear about the passing of our beloved brother Easy.  Please friends, join us in lighting a candle and sending massive hogs and snout kisses to Easy’s parents during this time.  Our hearts go out to them ❤

 

Take a Moment to Remember

On September 11, 2001, horrible terrorist actions took place in the United States.  Hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 crashing the planes into the North and SouthTowers of the WorldTradeCenter in New York City.

 

Other hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

 

Other hijackers attempted to pilot a fourth hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, to crash into the United StatesCapitolBuilding in WashingtonD.C.  However, passengers attempted to take control of the flight and crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

 

Nearly 3,000 people died in these attacks.  Each year in the United States, we now refer to September 11 as Patriot Day, or 9/11.  This is to honor those who lost their lives in the senseless terrorist act.  We will never forget and we will always remember.
