3. Had two Old Fashions and enjoyed them both, though I seldom drink anything other than wine.

Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day…and remembering my visit to Colleville-sur-Mer and the American cemetery above Omaha Beach.

Although my father, uncles, and father-in-law all served in the Army in WWII, I know no one buried there.

Still, standing on the manicured green grass with those perfectly aligned rows of white crosses and Stars of David in respectful silence was quite emotional for me.

It’s about sacrifice for country that our current Commander-in-Chief will never understand.

Cheers 🍷and Peace!
