signifies the start of summer. People will be visiting family, barbecuing,
enjoying sports and other things. For most workers, this is a three day
weekend.
As you celebrate this weekend, please take a little time and remember the
true reason we celebrate Memorial Day. It is to honor those men and women
who have fought and died to protect the freedoms we all cherish here in the
United States of America. To those who have fought for our country and
given the ultimate sacrifice, I say thank you to them and to their families.
There are times when our fighting men and women go to war. No matter how
you feel about the current conflicts we are involved in, or, how you have
felt about past wars, those who fought and died for our country deserve
nothing but our utmost respect and honor.
I will be going to a local Memorial Day parade tomorrow morning. My
favorite part of this parade is when the rifle squad from the American
Legion marches by. On this Memorial Day, may god continue to bless the
greatest country in the world, the United States of America.
