The majority of the population is spending time with family, at the beach, picnicking, and traveling on this 3 day weekend. Often in America it is easy to lose site of the reason for our holidays, even though we are great at the celebration part of them. On this Memorial Day, let us not forget the true reason for the day; to commemorate those men and women in our country’s past who gave their lives so that we may enjoy the freedoms we so easily take for granted. Let us also not forget those men and women who are doing just that for us right now.

We are so fortunate to live in a country that allows us the freedom of speech, religion and the ability to provide the best we can for our family.  Are we perfect? no, but we still live in the greatest country in the world.

Take time this holiday to thank God for the blessings you have received, and for the men and women who fight to protect all that we hold dear.

Happy Memorial Day,

Kevin
