Flag Day - With all due respect
Work was hectic today, I barely managed to put the previous post together, but with it being Flag Day, the best tribute that I can pay at this moment in honor of Flag Day is by leaving my Ex Father-in-laws' memory here in these entries, To Joe Madrid, who served our country well. The obituary came out today and I just felt such a strong connection at this moment with him.... My deepest respect and love to Jose Madrid.
