How to grow a good memory. I think everyone wants to do this for their someone specials, as well as for our planetary historical happenstance commemoration.

Hindsight remains the majority of my 20/20 envisioning that I’ve already reached a cup spilleth overage of excellent nostalgia.
Your will to be remembered shall often denote your compass. To every veteran I’ve known and all who ever were, I salute you with a huge nod of souveniring you’ve given to save our country.
