From Taylor Hicks on Twitter:
“Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend! This weekend is to honor our Service Men and Service Women!! God Bless The USA!” TaylorRHicks Fri 28 May 18:09 via Twitter for Blackberry
And…
“Don't ever be too shy. To tell a soldier "Thank You" while you are in the airport.” TaylorRHicks 4:37 AM Mar 29th via txt.
“I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.” ~Benjamin Harrison
Fly the flag! Remember our troops and thank them for what they do for us every day!

Nineteen is one of my favorite songs as sung by Taylor. Especially love the version where Jeff Lopez plays Dixie on the flute at the end of the song. What a haunting refrain and the message lingers in our minds. Taylor has his priorities straight as he sings this to us. Thank you for helping us to remember!
