Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day, the official start of summer! Remember to take a moment to reflect on what the Holiday is really all about!

Give thanks to all who have given their lives in service to our great nation. Freedom is not free.

From the bloody, mustard gas poisoned battlefields of World War I to the beaches of Normandy, from the freezing cold of Korea to the rice paddies of Vietnam, from the deserts of Iraq to the mountains of Afghanistan, these brave men/women set aside their own personal hopes, dreams, goals and lives to serve us when we needed them most.
I think we'll be putting a little box together to send to a soldier to try to explain to the kids the real meaning of today! Go here if you wish to do so too!!
Hope everyone is having a fun safe weekend!
