That’s Nina adjusting her helmet. Looking pretty snazzy in her Harley jacket, ehh?

I wonder where he will be this year?

Every year the French have a 4 day celebration in Normandy complete with American uniforms, tanks, jeeps and guns. They still honor the Americans who died there.

In all the years since, Our country has only FOUR TIMES not been there to do the honors.

Four times in 69 years!! I wonder who would have had the lack of respect to not honor our fighting forces?

SHAME ON AMERICA FOR ELECTING A NON-VETERAN PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: HE IS ABSOLUTELY A DISGRACE TO
ALL WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS NATION AND GAVE THEIR LIVES.

VETERANS – PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR VETERAN FRIENDS AND CONTACTS!!!!!!

June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of “D-Day”, the largest invasion ever attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning point in WWII in Europe . Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy , as do our Presidents….well, most of them….

In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument that honors the soldiers killed during the Invasion.

The occasions were:

1. Barack Obama, 2010
2. Barack Obama, 2011
3. Barack Obama, 2012
4. Barack Obama, 2013

For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed on D-Day. …Except Obama!

June 6 2010,
Obama had no events scheduled.

June 6, 2011,
Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry. FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.

June 6, 2012,
instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a campaign trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds for (his) upcoming election.

June 6, 2013,
Obama was doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto CA , once again at our expense.

America – Aren’t you proud?

Tomorrow, Nina and I will be heading to Texas with the SF HOG and spend the night in Amarillo. Dinner is planned at the Big Texan and a stop en route at the Cadillac Ranch is also on the agenda. On the way home we will be stopping at the midpoint of Route 66 for pictures or something else. They’re also planning a stop at a truck stop with a free car museum, but Nina and I may peel off there and do out own thing on the way home.

Nina informs me that hospice will be reviewing ML’s meds and may start removing them slowly from her. She is retaining water and I guess that’s a bad thing.

Erin is with her father’s family after an extended visit this week. Mother’s Day prompted the extended visit. Belle wanted Erin for M’s Day. She feels she is Erin’s mother. Tori disagrees.

I plan on climbing the pole again today. I want to get that stupid light changed out and be done with that pole. The pole is the one with the lights between the gas pumps. I hate climbing that stupid ladder. I’ve replaced the high voltage lights with LED’s and I went the cheap route the first time. Big mistake. The new LED’s are much better and the quality shows.

After that, my day is all mine. I may break out the bike and go for a ride. I’d like to head up the canyon toward Tererro and visit with Huey, but the last time we headed up there, his store was still closed. Nina thinks he opens Memorial Day. If the place is still closed, I may head up to Jack’s Creek to continue the ride. Beautiful country up that way.

Erin: I just cleaned the sink.
Me: Is that why your face is wet?
Erin: Yes! Don’t tell Beppe!
Me: Why?
Erin: I just don’t want her to know.
Me: OK, I won’t tell her.
Erin: Pinky swear?
Me: Really?
Erin: PAKE!
Me: OK, pinky swear.
