As we remember all the faithful past, present, and future service men and women fighting for our freedom. Memorial Day hits home for almost all Americans since we all have been touched by war be it a son, brother, cousin, uncle, friend, or even just passing a soldier in an airport, our freedom is being protected as they fight the endless war. Andrew and I have known several people who have served in the current war and keep them in our prayers always because war is tough, most of us will never see what they have seen on a daily basis. So if you pass someone that is in the military tell them how proud you are of them because their job is a hard one.
Every year for Memorial Day my family celebrates our family reunion. Oh my this year marked the 24th year. The Storjohann family began with Grandpa Storjohann and Grandma Redhead, they had 4 boys...the boys got married...then 10 grand kids were born...add in 5 significant others...and then 9 great grandbabies...equals one AMAZING growing family!! Auntie Sarah rented a jupiter castle for the little kids, everyone fished in their pond (Andrew caught tons of fish, so he was happy :)!!), the grandbabies all went swimming, and we ate TONS of yummy food!
