We have not forgotten

Memorial Day has taken on many reasons over the years, but it originated as a day of rememberance for our fallen military heroes.  I have many in my family.  Uncles and grandfathers who fought in World War 2 and my dad and uncle served in the Vietnam era.  I have cousins who continue the tradition in our family and are true patriots.

I would also like to express our gratitude to the many who continue to protect our great country, and the families who sacrifice in their absence.  We are eternally grateful.

So while you enjoy the barbecues and first trips to the beach, hug your family and remember the true meaning of the day.  We salute you.
