Happy Memorial Day!

Today we honor those who have died for our country and have made the ultimate sacrifice. Yes, it is a 3 day weekend for many and a break from work, but it truly should be a day of celebration for the freedom that we do have. These men and women have come before us and have given us the gift of freedom. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have the opportunities that we all get today. Yes, we are in troubled times with a recession, and family and friends still at war, but truly, as an American, we are really blessed. I may not agree with all that is going on in The United States or how it is being handled, but I do know one thing, I am very proud to be an American. Some people just look to this day as a day off, and don't even think about why we are celebrating it. Yes, it is a day to relax and have BBQ's with family and friends, but lets not forget our men and women who allowed us to have this opportunity. I am proud of all the men and women who were proud enough to die for our freedom. Thank you United States Military!!! You all have a special place in my heart!
