More than a weekend . . .

Memorial Day!

It is a day to remember all those who served this incredible country and lost their lives. We also pay homage to those who continue to do so.

My father, both step-fathers and father-in-law were all military veterans. Half of my six brothers have served in the military. Two nephews have also served. What an absolute honor to be in the midst of these folks who gave of their time and of their lives for the freedoms we so highly regard, and sometimes take for granted.

Thank you, too, to the many friends and their children who have also served and are serving. I know there are a lot of moms, worried about their children, wherever they might be, serving this great nation. Wives worried about husbands, husbands worried about wives, and families worried about members near and far who are fighting a fight most of us cannot comprehend.

God bless the troops that have gone before us ~ to maintain, to battle, to lose their lives ~ so that we can enjoy our liberties. We owe them much more than a weekend!

Thank you!
