A group of us "single girls" from the church went on a bike ride along L*a*ke Shore Drive in Ch*i*cago. It was a cloudy day and a little windy, especially because we were right on the lake. And we did remember the reason for the holiday. One of the girls who went had an uncle that died heroically in WWII. She told us he would have received the Congressional Medal of Honor but there was no one of higher rank in the area to witness his heroic deeds. He went ahead into battle because he did not have a wife or children back home and his buddies did. Wow!
So here are a few pics:

one of the girls and I grabbed some pastries at this cafe; reasonably priced for downtown Chicago which was wonderful!
