We had a great weekend. I made macadamia nut crusted tenderloin with a ginger & habanero red wine sauce (link). A little pricey due to the cost of the filet, but it was freaking awesome! I am thinking that I could do it again with a pork tenderloin and that would be almost as good (and a hell of a lot cheaper).
To quote JABF from the last Memorial day thread:
I know it is a solemn remembrance for those who served - and gave their lives for our nations freedom. I am reminded that freedom isn't "free" because it has come at great cost... the lives of countless people who gave their lives to preserve it.
I couldn't say it any better. But I would like to add that our veterans are twice as likely to be homeless than the rest of the US population. Veterans make up about 25% of the suicides in the US. Largely due to the mental and behavioral health issues they suffer from as a result of their service. IMO we owe our veterans a lot more than they ever get in pay, retirement, health care, etc.
