Happy Memorial Day

Sis, did you know there is no school today?

I guessed that, we are at the park.

Do you know what today is Sis?
 
My Birthday

No Sis.

Christmas?

No Sis.

Well then what is today Bro-Ther?

It is Memorial Day Sis.

Memory what?

Close Sis, It is Memorial Day when we honor all of the men and women who have fought and died for our great country.

Oh kind of like that song?

What song Sis?

The one they always sing before the Tigers play.

The Star-Spangled banner Sis?

Yuppers.
 
Do you know who wrote that?
 
Some guy named Francis, isn't that a girls name?
 
Sis, Francis Scott Keys wrote it, Francis was a boys name back then.  Oh by the way did you know that we are related to him.
 
WHAT?

Sis, we are related to Francis Scott Keys, he is a distant cousin on daddy's side.

That is SO cool!

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

That was beautiful Sis!

 

What?  I just had a Marilyn Monroe moment, think we are related to her?

 

Oh, Sis...

What?

Say Happy Memorial Day!
 
Happy Memorial Day love Gabriel and Isabella!!!

Happy Memorial Day love Gabe and Erin!!!
