The "Memorial" in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice:

Also, please consider adding your voice in support of the efforts to restore the traditional day of observance of Memorial Day back to May 30th (instead of “the last Monday in May”). This would help greatly to return the solemn meaning back to the day, and to help return minds and hearts to think upon the ultimate sacrifices made by those in service to our country. Just one day out of the year to honor our loved ones, our ancestors, our friends who died in conflicts and wars — not to honor war, but those that died in those conflicts and wars.I receive many emails from people expressing their thanks for those who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country. The following, received in 1999 and used with the author’s permission, sums up all the emails I have received very elegantly, and is true to the original spirit and meaning of Memorial Day.

“This weekend I am going to do something different. I am going to buy some carnations each day and go to one of the nearby cemetaries and walk through the sections for soldiers. When I find a grave that has no flowers, I’ll leave one and say a prayer for the family of that person, who for some reason could not bring their soldier flowers. I will pray for our country and all who serve or have served. For their families, who also serve by losing precious days, weeks and months spent with their loved ones who are off serving, preserving peace and the freedom we have in this country. I’ll pray for the families who paid the ultimate price, who’s loved ones died, or were taken captive and never returned. I’ll pray for anyone who may still be held in captivity and thinks perhaps they are forgotten. I do NOT forget.I’ll say a prayer for every person on the Internet who takes a moment from their time to come to sites like yours and be reminded of what this holiday really means. And I’ll say a prayer of thanks and ask God’s richest blessings on you.

Thank you again…. and God bless!

Well, my new flavor of SuperPump250 is in Raspberry Lemonade, taste pretty good too, still have some Orange left, so I can switch up every now and then.

Got the new SizeOn tabs has recommended my Gaspari Nutrition wesite, since I’m trying to drop BF% while packin on some Muscle too. On that nite still taken my LIPO 6, got my third bottle in … just in time too.

Still have a bit of Animal Pak and Flex … one or two Animal Stak left. I usually take Stak with my SuperPump250 before working out.

I had to get another tub of the Vanilla Chai powder to from Optimum 100% Whey … love the flavor, it’s freakin awsome!!!

Today will be my last time with the SizeOn powder and will start the Tabs this coming week.

The Wife picked up a big ol bottle of Fish Oil too, so I might throw one of those down ever so often, since I not a big seafood person! 

Well, I started my third week now on SuperPump250 and SizeOn, I can really see some changes going on.

I contacted the GN website on their products in regards to putting SuperPump250 and SizeOn in the blender … it’s fine.

 They did however recommend that I take the SizeOn tab instead of the Powders.  I’m still also taken the Lipo 6

On the note, time to make a out a new order to BB.com … supplements are getting low.

I got a few sample packs of the ISS OH YEAH protein bars (Thanks BB.com).

They are actually pretty good bars … I’m not big into the white chocolate, but again they taste really good.

The price are not that bad either. 

Well, I never like jumpin on the scale and seeing my weight going up. I do have a go understanding of weight vs BF%, so I’m not to upset about. It looks like I gained 5 lbs of muscle, and staying around 23-24% BF.

I’ve been doing my LIPO 6 for over a month now, but not seeing any BF% what so ever.

My Superpump250 and SizeOn do seems to be working with putting on some lean mass.

Still using my Animal Pak, Stak, and Flex … also my protein mix too!

For military purpose I need to drop BF% and it seems that the only way of doing this is short of starving myself. 

Since I just started the SuperPump250 and SizeOn combo I’ll do this whole month of working out and doing my walks with my new ankle weight (10lbs) and see what happens.

I got my new Supplements in tonight, SizeOn and a Vanilla Casein protein.

I got my wife a box of the Optimum 100% Whey Protein sample pack box.

I also got a pair of 10 lb ankle weights for my walks at night.

Gotta thank BB.com for the Sample of ISS Oh Yeah bars to that were in the box … My wife and I will have to write a review on them for the site.
