Memorial Day Poem

A Scholarship Winning Memorial Day Poem. Note the author name and age at the end of the poem:
A Single TearIf then was thenAnd now is nowThen what is violence all about?What’s done is doneIt can’t be fixedSo why are all my emotions mixedThey say don’t fightThey send us awayBut while I wonder in dismayMore men fightMore men dieBut what can I do besides sit and cry?If things are notWhat they appearAnd if everyone shed a single tearCould those menCome back to life?To see their loved ones, their kids, their wife?I know it sounds foolishI know it sounds dumbBut as my body starts to numbI promise myselfI will not forgetThe face of the soldier whom I had once metI remember it wellI raced into townI fought the crowd as I scurried aroundAnd there it wasPlain as could beThe smile on his face as he gazed straight at meThree months laterI saw him againShot dead in the war, much like other menI went to his funeralMy heart started to raceAs they opened the coffin, that smile on his faceI was surprisedHow could this be?Is this the smile of a dead man I see?What could I do?It was too much to bearAs I starred at his face my heart started to tearSomeone’s husbandSomeone’s dadJust these thoughts made me madThen I realizedIt all became clearHe died proud, not in fearAs one door closesA new door opensOur past cannot be fixed, but our future can be brokenLike the soldierWho died with a smileWhy can’t we stop the fighting once in a while?If things are notWhat they appearAnd if everyone shed a single tearCould those menCome back to life?To see their loved ones, their kids, their wife?The answer is yesDon’t you see?That man lives on, an unforgettable memoryAs plain as dayAs simple as nightSo people for once, let’s stop the fightThis poem was written by a 8th grade student in San Antonio,Texas congratulations to my NephewTimothy Kellogg age: 13Memorial Day Proposal

As work neared a close on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend The Travel DRS received a call from a long time client who frantically asked if I could possibly get him a romantic resort location near home (within a 70 mile radius) for Saturday and Sunday of this weekend!
Michael informed The Travel DRS that that he was going to Propose to Tannie, and between his work, nerves, rings, and other things he missed the fact that he needed to book a resort! With a little ingenuinty The Travel DRS found a beautiful resort stay at the 5***** Chateau on the Lake and include dinner reservations for an 8:15pm window table over looking the lake at sunset for that special moment.
This is of course a "To Be Continued" The Travel DRS will check on Tuesday with Michael & Tannie. Keep an eye on the blog for the Memorial Day Finale.......
Remember: If you are getting ready to "Pop the question" and need that perfect place give The Travel DRS a call/e-mail. We will be happy to assist you in making your Proposal a memory to last a lifetime!
A Few Honeymoon Guidelines

The Travel DR'S would like to share a tidbit of information on Honeymoon Destinations, Honeymoon Dates and time to book (please be advised this is what The Travel DR'S have discoved over the years)!
Average cost of a Honeymoon for Two:
As you all know your options are plentiful, but an low range, nice honeymoon should run now lower that approximately $2000-$2500 (for two). A mid-range is approximately $2600-$3500 (for two). Please understand these are the standards. The Travel DR'S will do their very BEST to get you what you want within your price range.
Honeymoon Dates:
If you are honeymooning in December to First week of January of any year you should "Ultimately" start looking as soon as July to lock-in the "Best" rate. Please remembe,r that all prices increase with the holidays.
Honeymoon Deposits:
All you Bride & Grooms are aware that you can, in most instances put down a deposit to hold your booking and make payment up to 60 days prior to departure correct? (ask for details).
Finally, if you noticed as you entered into The Travel DR'S website, there is a BridalRegistry, this registry is the same type of registry that you would see in a Macy's or anyother store with one exception! This registry is here to assist in getting your honeymoon paid for, such as:
Airfare ~ Resort Stay~Spa treatments~Candle Lit Dinners~Excursions
(it's your choice your friends and family can put down as little as $20 or as much as they want)
Check out Honeymoon Wishes for full details!
The Travel DR'S hope that this information will assist you in creating your "Perfect Honeymoon".
We look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sorry the Delay but chek out the creative proposals!

The Travel DRS would like to apologize for the delay in time from lst blog to this one.
Since our last blog, The Travel DRS attended the Mid-South Bridal Trade Show in Tennessee where we won an award for our booth. The Travel DRS met some beautiful Bride & Grooms filled with excitement over finding their perfect honeymoon destination. The Travel DRS are working with them on doing just that!
The Travel DRS have also been involved with a couple of "Destination Proposals" yes you heard it right! So for you gentleman that are unsure of how to make your proposal a perfect one let me share with you a couple of ideas that I know first hand have worked!
1. A business trip to hawaii he made time for a romantic dinner cruise where proposal was made and excepted!
2. A getaway to Cancun to an All-Inclusive "Adult Only" resort again got a big "Yes"
If this sounds like something you would love to do, give The Travel DRS a call/e-mail to set-up your romantic proposal destination!
The Travel DRS want to also convey a belated "Happy Mother's Day" to all of you Mom's out there.
