Memorial Day - Respectful

As all of you know, today is Memorial Day. I ask all of you to take a moment and remember what this day is. It is not a happy day or a day for all of the sales advertised. It is the first holiday of summer and a time for cookouts which is fine. But most importantly it is a day to remember those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. They paid with their lives. Please remember their families and loved ones who will forever have a hole in their hearts. When you see a serviceperson in uniform, just say "thank you for your service". They will be very greatful.

Have a Respectful Memorial Day

I Hope the younger generations can appreciate that. Some of the current video games glorify things that shouldn't be glorified. I thank those that have given service and sacrifice.
