Memorial Day

Today we honor and remember all the brave men and women who gave their lives for the freedoms we know today. It is because of their sacrifices that we can vote for the persons of our choice, have our own views on different topics, march in protest and support, and practice our religion in our own way.

Memories

Today, if an umbrella turns inside out and breaks, we would probably get a new one. When I was a little girl in Port Chester, N.Y., on Main Street there was an “umbrella man” who had a little cart on the sidewalk and, for a small charge, would repair the umbrella.
