Wait stop what am I thinking......
A friend of mine Kathy Marullo called me the other day to let me know what Chuck has been up to lately. She told me a story about Chuck going to visit and honor someone he knew at a cemetery. When he got there he looked around at this place of rest and his mind could not rest. This cemetery has been forgotten and appears to be well just neglected. Chuck called some friends to get together and help to clean up, mow, trim trees and haul of trash and other debris. Chuck reached out to an organization by the name Servolution Mainland. They came out with about 30 volunteers and really helped make a difference. Chuck had a new flagpole installed to honor the veterans and their families. There is no telling what else Chuck is going to do there but I am sure it will be amazing. If you see my friend Chuck shake his hand or just pass a smile along I know he will smile back.  Chuck is a great guy and our community is very blessed to have the Doyle family in it.  I went to visit the cemetery this morning as some local residents and staff from Texas First Bank put flags on the veterans graves. It is amazing to be able to watch the good in people and to be a small part.  I want to thank them for everything that they do for there community. I also want to thank the veterans that are at rest in this cemetery for serving our country. They have watched over our country to allow us the freedoms that we have. If you can this Memorial day please honor a veteran that has given their lives serving our country.
