Memorial Day weekend is here! Despite the temperatures that may suggest otherwise it is the unofficial start of the summer season. There will be parades, cookouts, pool openings and parties all across this nation. We hope everybody has a great time and safe time with family and friends!
During this holiday weekend it is important that we take time to reflect on WHY we have a holiday weekend. It is because of the countless thousands of those who chose to serve their country in the Armed Forces and never came home. They gave their lives at so many places around the world so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today…… the Ardennes, Guadalcanal, Gettysburg, Normandy, Pearl Harbor, Bellau Wood, Iwo Jima, Sicily, the Philippines, Shiloh, Ia Drang and Midway to name a few. When their country called to defend freedom they stepped up and said “Here I am!” HONOR THEM!
