We set aside Memorial Day
Each and every year
To honor those who gave their lives
Defending what we hold dear.

In all the dark and deadly wars,
Their graves prove and remind us,
Our brave Americans gave their all
To put danger far behind us.

They made the ultimate sacrifice
Fighting for the American way;
We admire them and respect them
On every Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

By Joanna Fuchs

Remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

If anyone sees the chair around or if anyone has any information, please contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!

Former state District Judge Pat Murdoch dies

https://www.abqjournal.com/1303789/former-longtime-district-judge-pat-murdoch-dies.html

We are so sad to hear about the passing of Coach Pat Murdoch. As the “Founding Father” of the New Mexico wheelchair basketball program, Coach Murdoch was a pioneer for developing adaptive sports and helping individuals with disabilities in New Mexico. His wisdom, time, energy, patience, and love he draped over everyone he met influenced them to strive for greatness. If you were ever fortunate enough to cross paths with such a great man, please share your stories. RIP Coach Murdoch. The adaptive community, the city, the state, and all of us who were so gracious to know you will never be the same, but your legacy will live on forever. We will continue to strive to be the best pioneers we can be and hope to make you proud.

abqjournal.com Former 2nd Judicial District Judge Albert S. 'Pat' Murdoch, who sat on the bench from July 1, 1985, until he retired on July 29, 2011, has died. Details of Murdoch's death on Monday were not…

Thank you to the Varsity boys basketball team, staff, friends, and family of Evangel Christian Academy for coming out to the Albuquerque Kings practice. Such a great opportunity to spread awareness and share the wheelchair basketball experience with an amazing group. We enjoyed having you! Good luck in your game tonight!

Your Albuquerque Kings went 2-2 this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. All games were played hard against some tough teams. Time to get back in the gym and continue working!

It is certainly not enough to only say thank you for all that has been sacrificed, but hopefully it's a start...to all that have served and are currently still serving our great nation, we thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out and supported our golf tournament fundraiser last week. You all are amazing! The players were having so much fun they couldn’t resist posing for some pictures and showing off their golf skills...⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏻‍♀️
Thank you as well to our wonderful sponsors (Enterprise Electrical Services, Mike's Jerky, Bubba's 33, Golf Mart, Midtown Sports & Wellness, Tanoan Country Club, 5J's Auto Sales, and Land of Enchantment Auto Sales).
