Girl Scouts Troop at Memorial Day Ceremony giving Thanks to all those Brave men and women!!! #Respect #Honor

We all celebrated and but must remember to give "Thanks" to our brave men and women  who protect our country. The price of Free in Freedom is ultimately the lives of these great "Heroes."

Nos divertimos, pero debemos acordar de dar 'Gracias' a los hombres y mujeres valientes que protegen nuestro país. El precio libre en libertad es, en última instancia, la vida de estos grandes héroes.

On a bright, sunny and windy day, Our South Florida Troop joined in the Ceremony for the Memorial Day Service in Hialeah.

I am always deeply touched at the solemn moments when tribute is paid by the laying of the hats on the table.

Siempre estoy profundamente conmovido en los momentos solemnes cuando se rinde homenaje por la colocación de los sombreros en la mesa.

Next was the Girl Scout Troop singing the American Patriotic song "Home Sweet Home."

We heard many heartfelt stories of these brave men and women who have gone before us while serving in the United States Armed Forces. 

Oímos muchas historias sentidas de estos hombres y mujeres valientes que han ido antes de nosotros sirviendo en las Fuerzas armadas de los Estados Unidos.

There was the gun salute shortly after paying tribute to our fallen heroes.

Había saludo del arma poco después rendiendo el homenaje a nuestros héroes.

Immediately following the ceremony, the City will honor World War II veteran, Anthony V. Watson, by naming Palm Avenue at the intersection of West 3^rd Street “Anthony V. Watson Way.”

Inmediatamente después de ceremonia, la Ciudad honró al veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Anthony V. Watson, llamando Palm Avenue en la intersección de la calle 3 Oeste “Anthony V. Watson Camino.”

A couple of the Girl Scout interviewed a veteran and councilman.

Un par de Girl Scouts entrevistó a un veterano y concejal.

The  Great Veteran said "A great citizen starts by being a Girl Scout or Boy Scout."

El Gran Veterano dijo que "una gran ciudadano comienza por ser un scout o Boy Scout".

Hope you all had a lovely weekend giving "Thanks" to all our brave men and women at home and away and grateful for those who paid the price of Freedom for us.

Espero que tuvieras un fin de semana encantador dando 'Gracias' a todos nuestros valientes hombres y mujeres en el hogar y lejos y de gratitud, por los que han pagado el precio de la libertad para nosotros.

Have a Blessed Good Friday! #Beliefs #Faith #Traditions

Good Friday is a day of memories, of FAITH and LOVE. It is a day of remembrance that No greater Love is there than for someone to die for us! I can remember a day of fasting, no eating of meat and peace. As children, we look forward to the resurrection of our Lord at 3 p.m. It seems at that appointed hour the sun would get very hot and a dark cloud passing over making it dark. It seems like a reminder  of what happened many years ago. This brings memories of my grandmother (RIP) in Yucatan as we would often accompany her from the hillside of the Three Cross and follow the Cross to church. It was always a most serene and sacred moments that are priceless.

El Viernes Santo es un día de memorias, de FE y AMOR. ¡Es un día de conmemoración que no hay amor más grande que haya alguien que muere por nosotros! Puedo recordar un día de ayuno, ninguna comida de la carne y se siente paz en ese día. Como niños, esperamos la resurrección de nuestro Señor,  a las 3 p.m. se parece en esa hora designada calentarse mucho el sol y una nube oscura pasando por encima, oscuriciendose por unos momentos. Parece como un recordatorio de lo que sucedió hace muchos años. Esto trae recuerdos de mi abuela en Yucatán (que en pas descansa), como a menudo le acompañabamos desde la colina de la Cruz tres y a seguir la Cruz a la iglesia. Siempre fue unos momentos más sereno y sagrado que no tienen precio.

Today as a practicing Catholic, I continue a tradition which my family has always kept. It has not always been easy to follow traditions in the Unites States but that is a trial process that I believe is bridge to cross with better to come. With the world in turmoil, Good Friday is always a day of reflection and a day of seeing my life in a different perspective. A day of prayer for friends',families' and acquaintances' needs, and for all religious denomination. A day of thanks and forgiveness. A Day for Catholic to remember the Passion of the Cross, the greatest Love of ALL!

Hoy en día como un católico practicante, he seguido una tradición que mi familia siempre ha tratado de mantener. No siempre ha sido fácil de seguir las tradiciones en los Estados Unidos pero creo que es un proceso de ensayo y es un puente para cruzar con mejor venir. Para mi el Viernes Santo es siempre un día de reflexión y un día de ver mi vida en una perspectiva diferente. Un día de oración por las necesidades de amigos, familiares y conocidos. Un día de dar gracias y recordar que pedir perdón es precioso. Un día para que los católicos recuerden la Pasión de la Cruz, el  Amor más grande de TODOS, y asi ayuden a sus hermanos en nombre de Dios!

We have The Passion of the Cross - The Greatest LOVE of all! 
¡Tenemos La Pasión de la Cruz - El  AMOR más grande de todos!

Wishing everyone a Blessed Easter!
¡El deseo a cada uno de usteded, una Pascua Bendita!
