YESTERDAY AND TODAY
**Those 2 pine trees I told you about yesterday that were not growing as well as I
thought, I replanted so that they would get full sun with no shade at all unless the sky
is dark with clouds. I didn't read the tag when I first planted them and now I saw on the
tag that they need 3 to 6 hours full sun. The other pretty violet flowering plant I told you
about needs to have 1 to 3 hours of sunlight, so I had to move 1 in the southwest corner
because it was shielded by that pine tree that I moved.
**The weather today calls for a high temperature of 78° and mostly sunny skies.
I told you before that I'm running out of things to do in the flower beds and the yard
except for the continuous process of pulling weeds, spraying weed killer and sowing grass.
But I also have something else to do because I still have plenty of room. Planting plants
and flowers. So I'm going to Lowes in Wooster, after a stop at the military cemetery in
Ritman, to purchase as many perennial plants as I can get into the Honda. And I'll use my
credit card. It seems I'm spending all of my inheritance from Father and Mother on flowers
and related things I need. I don't know about Father so much, but Mother loved her trees,
plants and flowers and she wouldn't mind me spending the money.
I can remember a tree next to Herring Lane and south of the house that her friend, Mrs.
Logan, gave to Mother. It was beautiful when it bloomed, but Mother now has a much
greater view of that tree's awesome brilliance.
I HAVE SOMETHING ON MY MIND
**Today is Memorial Day.
Memorial Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Memorial Day sometimes called "Decoration Day."
Official name - Memorial Day.
Observed by - United States.
Type - National.
Observances - Remembrance of American war dead.
Date - Last Monday in May.
Frequency - Annual.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who
died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday is currently observed every
year on the last Monday of May. It marks the unofficial start of the summer vacation
season, while Labor Day marks its unofficial end. Many people visit cemeteries and
memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers
place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.
Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of
remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates
the service of all U.S. military veterans."
I was watching wkyc, Cleveland, the other night and saw a news item on "Carry the Load:"
http://www.carrytheload.org/site/PageServer?pagename=home.
Honor and Celebrate Our Nation’s Heroes.
"Carry The Load is a non-profit dedicated to providing active, meaningful ways to honor ,
and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes — military, law enforcement,
firefighters and first responders.
What started as a mission to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day has broadened to
include more than just our military heroes and more than just the one holiday. Carry The
Load works to bring all Americans together to participate in honoring our nation’s heroes
every day."
I grew up in Dayton, Virginia, and I knew that George Dolbryn Thomas, a Marine, had died
in Vietnam at age 19. But I didn't that Norman Norwood Miller, Army, age 26, Kenneth
Wilson Shook, Air Force, age 21 and Dickie Carson Curry, Army, age 20, had also died in
Vietnam. The last 3 were strangers to me then and because they died in Vietnam they
always be strangers to me now.
But I can do something yet. The purpose of "Carry the Load" is to carry a backpack with
large last name name tags sewn onto the back of the backpack and carried as often as
possible and thinking about those long dead soldiers and heroes on a daily basis.
I know a sewing woman in Wooster, Judy from Kentucky, who sews the American flags on
my polyester shirts and shorts. Maybe she can create the name tags I want or tell me
someone who can. She then can sew the 4 names on one of my backpacks.
And just like the military, I'll have her sew on the name tags in alphabetical order:

Philippine Forces Struggle to Evacuate City Overrun by Islamic Militants.
By FELIPE VILLAMORMAY 29, 2017. Excerpt from full article:
"MARAWI, Philippines — Hundreds of desperate residents remained trapped in this
besieged southern Philippine city on Monday, as local militants loyal to the Islamic State
and backed by foreign fighters stubbornly held their ground against government troops.
Troops have so far cleared just half of Marawi of militants from the Abu Sayyaf and Maute
groups, but the insurgents have broken up into small groups and proved elusive, said Zia
Alonto Adiong, a spokesman for the Lanao del Sur provincial government. The military’s
inability to drive out the rebels has become a major challenge for the government of
President Rodrigo Duterte, who declared martial law in the region last week in vowing to
quash the insurgents.
In a sign that the standoff was turning into a long-term siege, Mr. Alonto said the province
had imposed a nightly curfew and called on civilians to help the military fight and subdue
the militants.
“Government forces are allowing citizens’ arrests,” he said. “We are calling on those who
can to help us,” he told reporters in Marawi, as helicopters on bombing runs circled above
this once bustling city of 200,000, which has now been reduced to a virtual ghost town
where pockets of gunfire intermittently break the eerie silence."
**President Rodrigo Duterte is popular to his people and a very, very tough man. He has
thrown his own country's corrupt officials from helicopters and had his own people who
were drug dealers or other criminals murdered. He'll rid his nation of the ISIS threat,
eventually.
President Rodrigo Duterte is a very rough and tough man.

**Experts say that North Korea has the missile capabilities to launch a missile close to

who has the biggest stake in this or the other countries that are just as close as Japan?
