John J. Rigo’s name on the Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas
John J. Rigo’s name on Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas
As a senior, I know there is not unlimited time in my life to be in this world. I believe we all want to leave some part of us in the world. Something beside a tomb stone in a forgotten grave yard some place. Perhaps the kind of grave yard where the tomb stone lays flat on the ground. A place where huge grass cutting machines run across expanses of grass and weeds that sit among tomb stones.
I am proud to say, there is a place marked for me. It is a memorial of beauty in an East Texas town of Mabank. The memorial is a salute to perhaps, some of the happinest days of my life. It was my four years of active duty in the Air Force. Knowing that this place exists where my name is among those who have served our country with honor, brings me a truly wonderful peace.

I’m glad you’re set up… but let that put your mind at easy because we don’t want you going any time soon! 😀
Several times this past weekend, I thought of you and your family and tried to find time to post a memorial day message on your site or e-mail you. The “Honey-Do List” was too long to get to it. It renders me a great sense of peace knowing there is someone out there that really cares about me, and perhaps in their way, actually loves me. My blessings to you and yours……John
I know what you mean John… LOL…. I’d probably have a lot less to do if I had let you adopt me… 😀 My mother keeps me busy a lot… the legal tangle I’m battling has taken a toll… (feel like I’m beating my head against a brick wall) trying to spend time with my hubby, work on my house, talk to my daughter on the phone now that she’s moved away
: ( and squeeze in a bit of me time… LOL
If you’re on FaceBook look me up there. I posted pictures of my dad and my son. (KElizabeth Green)
