memorial day

Have you ever been in a cemetery and saw coins laying on a tombstone? There is actually a reason behind it.  Read more, so you can know what each coin means, and maybe as you visit a fallen soldier this Memorial Day, you can leave a coin to honor them too.

Everyone loves a doggie parade. Well, except maybe the dogs. They don't really seem to realize the full greatness of costumes and scooters like their owners do, but they do seem to get happy about tricks and treats. They'll have plenty of those at the upcoming Boise Dog Carnival at Julia Davis Park.

Have you ever been in a military cemetery and saw coins laying on a headstone? Apparently there is a special meaning to the coins and I love the symbolism.  Read more, so you can know what each coin means, and maybe as you visit a soldier's final resting place this Memorial Day, you can leave a coin to honor them too.

These retirees are young.  The average age of someone who retires from the military is 45, and it turns out Idaho is one of the best places in America to put down new roots.  If you see military retirees at Memorial Day events this weekend, think they'll agree that they're in a good place?

To the families of those who lost someone dear in service to our nation, I want to share a heartfelt thank you.  I have not served and I'm grateful that your loved one did.
