Long live the Red, White & blue! Several of the family are meeting up at relations house in MO that sits right alongside the UP Sedalia Sub. Wish I could be there w/them to enjoy the fellowship, burgers, dogs, smoked chicken ***, potato salad, Pepsi and who knows what else.

Thought I would let you know.

I had left the two USA flags in my window up from Memorial Day, but for July 4th I added a color print-out via internet and the www.bera.org website of the member dressed with motorman's caps, white shirts, black ties, and black slacks marching, with a USA flag and a trolley museum banner in the Memorial Day parade. An impresive photograph with flag and banner very clear.

Happy 4th to Everyone. But don't forget that just like Memorial Day we need to be thinking about those who died in order for us to Celebrate this day to begin with. And let's not forget about those troops overseas right now fighting to make us safe, so while you sit with your family today honor our troops for the sacrifices they have made. Thank you to anyone who was ever served because you have my utmost respect. [^]
