How We Spent Memorial Day

Royal picked up a bottle of Warrior port some time ago.  He wanted to save it for a special occasion. 

Port is the drink that Royal Marine Commandos use to mark the corps birthday, October 28th.  Because of that, it's also the drink used to mark any extra special occasion for a Royal Marine.  Any port will do, but my Royal especially loved the name - Warrior.  It's what he is. 

Sitting around our dining room table on Memorial Day 2009 we drank a toast to both of our armed forces,
to a friend who just made it home safe from Afghanistan,
and to those we've lost.

RIP Elmsy. 

Every day be thankful for our Warriors.
