Memorial Day

There have been many people in my life who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Both of my grandfathers and my great uncle served in World War II.  I have cousins who have served in the more recent wars. There was even a kid that I went to school with that lost his life in 2009.

Memorial Day is NOT just about getting the day off work and having a huge bar-b-q. It is about honoring and remembering those individuals who where strong enough to stand up and fight for our country. Our country would not be what it is today if it wasn't for those men and women who risk their lives to defend it.

So take the time today to not only thank the veterans in your life, but share stories. Let them share their story. Share stories of those who are no longer with us. Let the future generation know of the strength and determination that they had and that we hope they will one day grow to appreciate.

Thank you to all of the Veterans and Thank you to those vets that are no longer with us.
