Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day.  In the past it's always meant barbecues and a day off.  However, this year I have been thinking a lot about my father in law and his brother.  My father in law went to Vietnam and his brother passed away in World War II while serving in the Navy when the ship he was on sank while at sea.  He was very young and while I obviously didn't know him I appreciate his sacrifice while serving his nation.  I thank all our veterans for their service.  Memorial Day means so much more than barbecues and the start of summer.  May each of us take a moment to be thankful for the wonderful men and women who have sacrificed so much for so many.  Thank God for those who believe in America and her freedom and liberty whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.  Happy Memorial Day!
