THEY CALL ME... MEME!

Happy Memorial Day!

Today I am thinking of my Dad, who served in the Korean war. My father in law, John, who served in the Navy, my brother Andy, the Navy and my nephew Jack, who in 10 days leaves for boot camp to become a United States Marine. My Dad was military police in Korea. I did a report in grade school and used this photo and wrote..."My Dad" above him!
This is Jack Clancy...

Our good friends Megian and Dennis, had a "Kick off to Summer" Mass and brunch at their lovely home on the lake. I invited Jack to come along with us so their friend Father Becker could bless him for me before he leaves. My sister and her family were in town from Columbus for Jack's graduation party the same day at my house! It was a beautiful mass outside with the skys blue and the lake so calm. Here's Father Becker with Dennis and Meigan during mass.
Father could surely understand the heart of this young man, for he too, at age 18, two weeks after high school graduation, on a day in June, was off to boot camp. After mass Father did bless Jack and it was a precious moment for sure.
God will bless this boy...Thank you to all who serve or have served or are about to serve. American hero's. Please take a look at this video with Oliver North. http://www.nragive.com/ringoffreedom/index.html
