Memorial Day Deerburgers
Mrs Bear & I had our Memorial Day all to ourselves this year, so we decided to have some Burgers on the Grill.
Mrs Bear was also touched by Vietnam, as many of her class of ’65 went to Vietnam & some didn’t come back. One of them “Gary Holland” had been living with his Grandfather, but then actually moved in at Mrs Bear’s parents house, while he was in High School, as he was a good friend of her older Brother.
Gary went to Vietnam & wasn’t there very long when they got the notice that Gary had been Killed in Action.
Then actually, I had met Mrs Bear in October, 1968, and we were going to wait awhile to get married, but then my AIT class got the “Alerts”.
Alerts are predictions made by the Army, as to where your class was going after graduation. The alerts said that 80% of my class was going to Germany. Yeah!!! Yahoo!!!
So we moved our wedding up to December 27, 1968. That way when I get shipped to Germany, the Army would pay to fly My Wife “Mrs Bear” to Germany.
That was a Great plan, except the “Alerts” were a little wrong. 90% of my class went directly to Vietnam. We did not pass go, we did not collect $200.
So much for a Honeymoon in Germany!! Landed in Vietnam in early February 1968.
Anyway Mrs Bear got the Deerburger Patties ready & I threw them on the Grill, and topped 3 of them with some American Cheese, for tonight's Supper.
I had some Shrimp with mine & pickle chips on the side.
We had some Vanilla Pudding for dessert, but the Picture came out blurry, and I didn’t want anybody to think the Pudding was actually blurry in real life, instead of just in the picture, so I’ll not post that picture.
BTW: My Deerbugrs are always 50% Venison, 25% Beef (80-20), and 25% Pork (Butt).
Then the second night for a change of pace, I used some Miracle Whip on my Burgers & some Winter Tomatoes on the side.
I can’t wait until Fresh Tomato season gets here!!!
Enjoy the Pics,
Bear
One Flat Pack of Deerburger:
Six Patties on the Weber "Q":

While waiting I shot a couple Pics of my front yard. This one looking toward the entrance.
The Driveway going to the left goes to Bear Jr's Shop & House:
Across the yard is our Pet Cemetery. Annuals just starting to grow again:
Time to remove & bring in:
One plate of Deerburgers. Three with cheese are for tonight:
