Memorial Day 1940

     The barbeque was served family-style on plates by the side of the road, when beef ribs were almost too big to lift and bread this size was a wonder.
     Later we fished in a stream that was clear straight down to the bottom.
     But the conflict that was to come, which makes Memorial Day our portal to the summer season in America, would also take away this world forever.
     Now, 74 years later, the images resurface like a smoky dream, gone with the wind.
     FlyingTypers remembers those who served in the U.S. military.
     We also extend greetings worldwide as we pray for peace on May 26, 2014.
     We return May 28.
     Bulletins at once.
