Memorial Day

Or as our grandparents used to call it, Decoration Day.

This day is set aside to honor those who have fallen in service to our country.  "Land of the Free, Because of the Brave".  It's not just a saying, it's the truth.  How many people have willingly put their lives on the line to ensure the safety of family at home?  Since the inception of our nation, millions.

My gratitude and thanks go to all who serve.

Military service is a long and proud tradition in our family.  My Dad was a career officer, who served in Vietnam.  Our family has served in the United States Military for decades.  (Yes, we even have some who served in the CSA in our family, and we are just as proud of them.)

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to those who are currently serving. 

While you're sitting around today, enjoying family and barbecue, please take a moment to remember WHY you have this day off.  Fly your United States Flag, high and proud.
