Memorial Day HERE IN MEXICO


 Memorial Day HERE IN MEXICO

Here in Chapala, Mexico there are a lot of veterans and they have an American Legion Club.  So why not celebrate the day with all the Americans that fought for our freedom in honor of the good old USA.

 








Although, Dan and I were not in the military, our friend invited us to the American Legion.  I was honored to celebrate a day that is flagged on our calendars and to remember the soldiers that fought and died to protect freedom.

Most of you all do not realize that there are several thousand vets living abroad, especially here in Mexico.  I have met some that were in different wars and have paid a tremendous cost.  We tend to forget the chemicals that they had to endure, which is an everlasting effect on their lives, such as Agent Orange.

Celebrating with fabulous food and entertainment our appetite was compromised for there was no organic foods.  To tell a secret we cheated and had roast pig and baked beans with corn on the cob.  It’s what you would call an all American meal.

As we go forward, let’s take a moment and if you see someone on the street needing help that went to war remember that they endured the sacrifice to protect our nation.

Enjoy the pictures and mini movie.
