Over my last few years on the air approaching Memorial Day Weekend, I recited the following poem in honor and in memory of the brave men and women of the Military who have laid down their lives that we may live ours.

That poem, “The Inscription”, was sent to me by a listener, Paul Reside. Paul’s Grandmother, Annabelle Gunnett Jones, penned it around 1932. The poem was picked up and published in the the Perry County, Ohio newspaper for a number of years on “Decoration Day”, or as we know it today - “Memorial Day”.

Annabelle was inspired to write the poem by her husband, a World War I Veteran, as a tribute to the Unknown Soldier. 

I hope you will share “The Inscription” with your family and friends.  In these turbulent times, it is imperative that we never forget the sacrifice our men and women in uniform have made, and continue to make today, so that we may live in freedom.

After listening to Annabelle's words, I think you might enjoy a few of my favorite patriotic songs performed by some of this great country's greatest artists. The first one posted was taken from last night's "National Memorial Day Concert" - It's a beautiful rendition of "Requiem for a Soldier" - The main theme from the 2001 Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks mini-series, "Band of Brothers". 

From the entire Purtan Family to You and Yours... Have a Safe, Pleasant & Peaceful Memorial Day!

Welcome to Monday and a special Post-Royal-Wedding Podcast! If you're like me, you set your alarm for the crack of dawn Saturday, baked up a fresh batch of crumpets and settled in with a cup of Earl Grey and a pallet of tissues to watch Harry and Meghan Tie the Knot. NOT!!! But Jackie did! She joined me at the Purtan Family Dining Room Table just a few hours after the Happy Couple said their "I Wills" to dish all the details - and try to explain to me why this "event" was so worth losing sleep over. From the Queen to the Clooney's to the all important DRESS...  she's got estrogen-laced castle to castle coverage. Plus we'll tell why a one-month-old boy stands a better chance of becoming King than the newly minted Groom does! (The baby's already spoken his first words... "It's GOOD to be the KING!!!")

So give a Royal Wave goodbye to whatever you're doing... and take a few minutes to join us for Podcast #228. You'll be bloody gobsmacked, mate! 

Have a great day and I'll see you back here Tuesday!

Welcome to Monday and a very special Podcast! Today Jackie and I sit down around the Purtan Dining Room Table to celebrate the Mother of all Holidays... Mother's Day... coming up next Sunday! We'll tell you how our 6 girls turned the traditional M.D. Breakfast-in-Bed into an epic event complete with handmade menus (only Jackie could make an Eggo doused in Mrs. Butterworth's sound like a French creation from Julia Child) and the obstacle course that the girls had to go through to deliver the meal. Plus, how long it took Mom's 50 years ago to prepare family meals each day - compared to today. (God bless the microwave!) Also, at the risk of being accused of Okra-Shaming, I'll let you in on a little secret involving frozen foods and "ugly vegetables". And with Father's day coming up next month, I'll tell you about a great gift... the new "Hybrid" pants for men that can go from backyard BBQ to a night on the town on the fly (so to speak). Why bring up Father's Day Gifts you ask? Well, remember, "If It Wasn't For Your Father Would Your Mother Be Your Mother? So Remember Dad on Mother's Day!" 

Have a great Monday, check out Podcast #227, and I'll see you back here Tuesday!
