Memorial Weekend
Everyone can definitely tell there is a change in the air...Summer is upon us, FINALLY! The traffic has picked up and families are racing to the beach this weekend, Memorial weekend, to kick off the Summer season. It is nice to look around and see all the happy faces of men, women, and children who have been working hard all Winter long just to get to the beach. As we all have our own reasons for celebrating Memorial Day, lets not forget the REAL reason...the lives lost of men and women of our armed forces. It is through their selfless acts, that we all get to enjoy a weekend free of the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives and get to relax and reflect upon days gone by and the days that are ahead. As we celebrate our mini-vacations, let us all remember those whose lives were lost to protect the freedoms that we enjoy today.
For love of country they accepted death... ~James A. Garfield
