Memorial Day

Hi my Boardies,
Every year I pay homage to our service men and women by praying at Punchbowl just as the Blue Angels fly over it. The four jets in meticulous formation travel at great speed. Once directly over Punchbowl the second jet from the right suddenly flies straight upwards to complete The Missing Man formation.
I always try to follow the jet with my eyes to watch it disappear into "heaven" but it moves so fast that in all the years I've been doing it I just can't catch the exact moment the jet disappears.
Life is a burning candle and we never know when the flame will be extinguished. Life is so precious and so temporary. Cherish this day, cherish each moment, cherish your loved ones and be grateful.

much aloha,
~R
