As we approach another Memorial Day holiday weekend, with its barbecues and beach parties and so on, let's not forget to remember what the day is for: to remember those who have served, and those who continue to serve, so that we can enjoy the peace and freedom to grill in our backyards and play safely on the beach.
Many of them paid the ultimate price. We owe them a huge debt, and the same to their families and loved ones, who shared just as much in the pain and sacrifice.
Hats off and eternal gratitude to the men and women who give up so much so that we don't have a to give up anything.
Happy and peaceful Memorial Day to all. Thanks Dad, and rest in peace.
