I wanted to put up a quick post regarding Memorial Day. I know most of us enjoyed this "unofficial start of summer" by either going to the shore, attending a family or church picnic (or both!), maybe even went to a parade...But how many of us stopped to think that if it weren't for the members of the armed forces who paid the ultimate price many years ago (and some more recently...)We wouldn't be able to enjoy these simple freedoms, simple pleasures that we take for granted. Many people go through this life living in our great country (some even criticizing it); however, how many would be willing to lay down their lives so that others may reap the benefits of their sacrifice. Many of these men never had the chance to get married, to bounce their own child (or grandchild) on their knee, never even made it home... I think that it is important this Memorial Day that we take the time to remember and to thank a Vet, if we have the opportunity!
