Master of Ceremonies, Bill Swope, USMC with Forest City Mayor Dennis Tarlton.
Chris Robinson, Troop 245, Cliffside, passes out American Flags to the crowd.
The presentation of our flag... the military uniforms proudly worn... the speeches spoken... the crowd that gathered to listen... all a part of a ceremony honoring those who gave the supreme sacrifice for our nation.
One day, each year, we take the time to remember. It is as if we are listening to all those who seemingly speak from their graves. We salute them. The respectful silence that falls over the event embraces our time and place. We are filled with emotion. Some have tears flowing down their cheeks. We are thankful. We are grateful. Some remember a member of their family who gave of themselves. We are proud Americans that come together to remind the world not only why we exist, but because of those who make it possible for us to exist.

What do you want?

Are there any sure things? Some say the only sure things are death and taxes. I would beg differ, but that is for another time. Hunters and fishermen love sure things. It seems there is always one place that a fisherman can pick up at least one fish during his tournament run.

Do you go for the cup or the coffee?
A group of very successful former students got together with their college professor. They started complaining about stress in their lives. The professor went to the kitchen and soon returned with a pot of coffee and a variety of cups— some plain and some exquisite—and told the students to help themselves.
It’s no surprise! East Rutherford’s baseball team is making another run at a state 2A title. Following an easy 13-3 win over Draughn, East Rutherford (25-3) outlasted Pisgah on the road 6-5, moving themselves into the Elite Eight.
They remain the only Rutherford County team alive now after taking down Starmount 10-1, on Tuesday night. The Cavs go for the western regional championship starting today at home against East Lincoln (23-6). East Lincoln would host on Friday and the Cavs would go back home for Saturday’s contest, if game three in the series was necessary.
I have to admit, I’m somewhat of a complainer. I really hope that I am being harder on myself than I need to be, but I know I do complain more than I should. I am thankful however that most of my complaining is to God. But nevertheless, I’m complaining.
