I will be attending two memorial services on Memorial Day. One at Marietta
National Cemetery then later at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.

I have signed the petition to move Memorial Day back to May 30 as Black Jack
Logan ordered at its' founding.

Your name scared me there for a minute Al, my father's name was Alan. He was
a Korean War vet and died in 1986 before there was a memorial to Korean War
vets. I wish he would have lived to see it.
