Since it is Memorial Day we are especially thinking of our Military families and are honored to have Rainey, who is a military wife, on our 2010 staff. Her husband Michael is a Captain in the U.S. Army for an Infantry unit of 165 soldiers at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. When talking to Rainey about what significance Memorial Day has for her and her family she responded with: “Memorial Day makes me very proud of the service that my husband does for our country and I am grateful for the small part that I play in supporting him in his service to our country. I would also like to send a sincere thank you to all of the other men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces both past and present, and their spouses, for all the sacrifices they make in order to serve. As an army wife I know how hard it is and am very grateful to all the men and women who are willing to make that kind of sacrifice.”

The entire Baldpate staff would like to salute our military families wherever they may be all over the world this Memorial Day. And thank you to Rainey for allowing us the perspective to truly revere the honor our military bestows on us.

If you would like to come and celebrate Memorial Day with us we will certainly be happy to have you. We will be serving our White Chili and Garden Vegetable soups. We will also be serving our famous cornbread along side our Tripple Cheese muffins and Honey Wheat bread.
