I just want to take a moment to say something about Memorial Day. Most don't remember this as anything more than a long weekend off work, cookouts, buying hordes and multitudes of unnecessary groceries, and imbibing some frosty adult beverages. Friends, there's a reason we can enjoy ALL these things. The men and women who serve, have served, and have fallen serving our nation's armed forces. Let's all try to remember that this holiday weekend. On a personal note from my wife, Mrs. Hoppa, and I: To all who serve this nation's military now...to all who haved served in the past and gotten to come home...and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, in service to this country...We humbly thank you. We owe our very way of life to you.
To those we're close to, or have been close to: Mrs. H's dad, Donald...My stepdad, Don...Dock, our friend...Jake, son of a friend, David...Brandon, a guy I work around, and probably so many others that I can't think of (and I apologize for not being able to), a mere thank you doesn't seem like near enough. You've all defended our freedoms, our way of life, and kept us safe. So many things we take for granted as we enjoy them, we owe to the sacrifice that you made. I ask God's most bountiful blessings upon each one of you, and all your military brethren. Thank you so much.
Gearing up for the big LAN party shindig down at Felecia's. Was a real blast last time and we're looking forward to this one as well. And everyone...the DIP is coming! Gotta go get the stuff for Mrs. H's marvelous concoction of culinary delight in a bit. It'll be great to see everybody again! And those we haven't officially met, we look forward to meeting you!
God bless. Everyone be safe this weekend. Designate a driver if needed. Don't be stupid...
and GEEK ON!
