Happy Memorial Day! The traditional beginning to "summer" and the travel season has unfortunately become mainly that...just another long weekend we can use to have a BBQ. Don't forget, this day is about so much more. This is a good day to remember not only those who have died in service to this great nation or after their lives have come to their natural ends, but also those who are still living...many older gentlemen who proudly wear a hat showing what ship they served on...or that they are a Vietnam Vet. Go up to one of them...thank them for what they did for our country...for YOU! Shake that Vietnam Vet's hand and tell him....tell him you really do think that what he did in that horrible place many years ago was appreciated....because he did what his country asked of him and didn't run away. Remember all those who have served and are serving....even their families who sacrifice so much so their loved one may serve. This is NOT a day about hot dogs and hamburgers or getting ready for summer. There is a reason our flag flies at half-staff part of the day.
