Happy Memorial Day!

In our town of River Forest one of the highlights of our year is the Memorial Day parade which runs right down our street passing in front of Global HQ. We fly two American flags between now and the 4th of July.

The flag you see off to the side of Global HQ was carried by my brother-in-law who flew Harrier jets for the marines in Afghanistan. We honor his service as well as the services of all prior family members and all others who are serving or who have served in our armed forces.

Happy Memorial Day everybody!

Unvarnished family plug:  My brother in law wrote a book about his time in Afghanistan called A Nightmare's Prayer.   You can read about it and perhaps buy a copy if so inclined here. My brother in law, Michael Franzak won the 2012  William E. Colby Award for his book.  The Colby Award is named for the late Ambassador and former CIA Director William E. Colby.  It recognizes a first work of fiction or non-fiction that has made a significant contribution to the public’s understanding of intelligence operations, military history or international affairs.

 Way to go Mike!!!
