John, a.k.a. Mr. Ambition, was in charge of the first annual Lindon City Memorial Day Ceremony. He wanted to make it memorable and did just that! Here he is conducting:
He began by retiring (burning) the flag from the cemetery. A few minutes later some Army men rode up in a Hummer and passed on a new flag to the Honor Guard and they posted it.
The ceremony continued with 2 speakers - a Vet and a young guy currently enlisted. They did a great job - very moving. John's police chief then read a list of all Lindon residents who have served or are currently enlisted. It was very cool. Lots of good American pride.
You gotta love a man in uniform!
In the afternoon we went over to Julie's house (John's sister) and had a barbecue with his family. It's always fun to get together with family. We're blessed to have so many family members on both sides so close to us. We love 'em!
John, Aunt Lorraine, Joy, Sherry, & Julie (only a relative gets to put her arm on his legs)
We were happy that McKelle, Jake, & Jyson were able to be with us. Jake entertained his brother and cousins on the drums. Jyson ran and ran. Two minutes after we got in the car he was out. I wish I could sleep like that.
Thanks for a great morning Johnny. Thanks for the fun BBQ Lloyd family.
