Howdy friends and neighbors. My five year old son and I stayed up late the other night watching Star Wars. It’s hard to believe but the channel we were watching announced that this week was the thirty year anniversary of Star Wars! Mason got into it pretty good. I hadn’t watched any of them in a long while as well. As he and I sat in my easy chair rooting for the “force’’ it hit me that thirty years ago, I was five! Well, I just dated myself. I still think Star Wars is one of the best movies. I see and feel the effects of the episodes daily. Every time I use a cell phone I find myself saying as the “No G” signal fades away, “the force is not strong today.” “Come in Obi Wan Kenobi, come in, oh the force is weakening!” Wow, thirty years of Stars Wars!
With Memorial Day just around the corner I want to remind you to be sure and grill lots of beef this weekend and remember that Veterans made it possible for us to freely take a weekend to grill, go to the lake, do some fishing, do some sleeping, or go to a parade and celebrate our armed forces and the ones that gave it all for our way of life. I hear now and then how bad things are today. But if you want to think like that then remember it could be a lot worse. It could be really bad and we could be speaking German or Japanese while being told what to celebrate and how to do it!
Thank you past and present Veterans! I thank you so much for the ability to freely be a long winded cowboy in western Oklahoma who can sit in an easy chair and watch Star Wars with my boy!
I’m Monte Tucker, and hats off to you who serve this great nation!
