As you enjoy a long Holiday weekend full of friends and BBQ's, would you take a moment to remember the reason for the Holiday? I am eternally grateful for those who have paid the ultimate price for the freedoms that I and all Americans enjoy and I always observe a moment of silence on Memorial Day to say thanks.
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. "
- Abraham Lincoln (The Gettysburg Address)

+20My Son's are coming over for a barbeque and they're all vets or active duty. Both my parents were Army Officers during WWII and I'm going to their grave sites on Monday. So yes, I'm going to do my part in remembering. BTW, I also am a Vet. 
Thank Your SO, For His Service
