I enjoy looking for interesting moments while I am photographing an event for publication. One such moment arrived while I was covering 2022’s 100th Greeley Stampede on Sunday June 26. A rodeo pickup man stopped his horse right in front of where I was shooting. As I always do when a horse is nearby, I enjoyed looking at the horse! That is when I noticed the Greeley Stampede’s logo was reflected from the arena wall in the eye of the horse. So I took the shot and thought it would be cool if it turned out.

While many people tend to treat the Memorial Day holiday as an extended weekend, the kickoff to summertime grilling, or even a time to throw a party…
It is much more than that.
It is a time to remember those who have died in military service for our country. They died serving to protect the freedoms we so often take for granted and now even see eroding away around us.
Memorial Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of those who laid down their lives in military service to our country.
It is a time to reflect on their sacrifices and the importance of the freedoms and American way of life they died to protect and preserve.
Some gave all…
Most important… it is an opportunity to honor their ultimate sacrifices by being the best American citizens we can be. That means being an American that stands for freedom, stands against evil and corruption in all their forms, and honors the flame of a Christian-nation vision first held aloft by our Founding Fathers.

May this Memorial Day weekend find you blessed and willing to reflect on the debt we owe to those who have sacrificed their lives to preserve our American way of life. The pen of Abraham Lincoln was mighty and I cannot improve upon the words he wrote and then spoke during his Gettysburg Address:
“… we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
God bless you and yours during this upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
