TAPS ~ God Bless and Keep You, Fallen One

Throughout today, TAPS will play across cemeteries in honored memory of our fallen husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, aunts and uncles, grandfathers, great-grandfathers – calling back through time to the United States Civil War.

The George Foreman small grill cooked the filet mignon in 3.30 mins for medium rare (take off the grill and let sit a few minutes – it continues to cook). Uncle Ben’s wild and long […]
