Memorial Bears for the Military

On this Memorial Day, a reminder about those in the military who don't make it home to loved ones.

I couldn't make it through this without tearing up.



More about the Matthew Freeman Project, from CBS WTVR in Richmond (05/26/2014): "Mother’s heartwarming mission keeps son’s memory alive"

      Yep, I chatted with my BFF shortly after and he said, "I told you you're not allowed to watch the news." So true.
