Memorial Day

Between the beach, the family fun, the picnics and the sales, it’s important to take a moment to think about what Memorial Day really is. We are honoring and remembering those men and women who have sacrificed their lives defending our country and our values. Think for a moment, as you look at the images below, of those they have left behind and share for a second in their grief because they have sacrificed too. This is what Memorial Day is all about.

It’s Memorial Day. For many it’s a day for barbecue, for the beach, for burgers and beer. But I would hope that we would take a few minutes to remember those whom we have lost. There is plenty of time to celebrate victories and our military but today is the time to recognize the true cost of the wars we have sent our men and women to fight and, again, remember those we have lost.

Thank you.
