Don't Forget!

Please remember what this day is really all about. It's a time to honor those who unselfishly gave their lives to protect us.  They deserve our utmost honor and respect.

Oh!  And don't forget to watch tonight on the National Geographic's TV channel:

Witness: GI Homecoming.

We were one of the families chosen to be on this show!  So look for us!  :)

Here's a little more info: 

Previewing Witness: G.I. Homecoming 
Today is Memorial Day which means a lot of hot dogs, potato salad, and some croquet (unless it does get over ninety like the weatherman suggest it will; which begs the question, why is there not a croquet video game yet?). But let’s not forget what the day is truly about: honoring those that have served and are serving our country. So when all the hamburgers have been eaten, plop the family down in front of the television as members of the military surprise their loved ones on Witness: G.I. Homecoming airing at 10:00 PM (ET) on the National Geographic Channel.

Since 9/11, over two million soldiers have been deployed overseas, some not to return. But many more have come home safely and in the past decade we have all seen emotional homecomings be it on local, national news or even on YouTube. Witness takes a look at some of the more memorial surprise homecomings and the stories behind them with home movies, war zone footage shot by the soldiers and original, first-person account of the soldiers and their family. The segments range from a father waking up his kids in the middle of the night to an elaborate like a surprise reunion in center field of Fenway Park. If you tune in, make sure you have a box of Klenex on hand because there will be tears.
