Happy Memorial Day!

Today is a holiday in America and most people are enjoying the day off. Life goes on here in the PI, Faith Academy is in session and Allan is at the clinic. We did celebrate Memorial Day though. Yesterday, we went a ceremony done by the Embassy at the American Military Cemetery here in Manila. It was a nice recognition of those soldiers, both American and Filipino who fought and died for our country.

17,202 American Soldiers who died during
the war in the Pacific lie in these graves.
