California Spam

“Curious children crowded close, ragged children who ate their fried dough as they watched. They watched hungrily the unwrapping of the sandwiches, and their hunger-sharpened noses smelled the pickle, cheese, and Spam. They didn’t speak to the driver. They watched his hand as it carried food to his mouth. They did not watch him chewing; their eyes followed the hand that held the sandwich.”

To You Who Serve

To the men and women who gave up their lives so we have a future filled with freedoms. To their families who are left with only memories and a future without their loved ones in it – your freedom comes especially hard – the ultimate sacrifice.
