Americans around the nation take today to enjoy friends and family, remembering how much was given so we could live this day and every day in freedom. The true memorial is the nation and culture we create from their sacrifice.
May God bless our men and women protecting us today and in days past, may He comfort those who endure the pain of loss. So when peace is impossible, and our soldiers once again find themselves in harm’s way, let us remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, “Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.”

We should remember all patriots today, including those who lost their lives challenging the government and trying to make the ideals of the founding fathers real.
"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories."
- Thomas Jefferson

I actually come from a military family, every person I can think of has served somewhere except little ol'me.
If you love your country every time you see a vet thank them.
No joke, say "thank you, thank you for serving your country"

It's fun collecting GI Joes, and it's fun fantasizing about being in the action, but in real life, war is hell. Not that I know firsthand, but I've taken care of guys who have PTSD from seeing combat. I have several family members who are in the military and I live in a community where many of my friends and neighbors are in the military, and I have to say that I couldn't do it. So I have the utmost respect for those who are out there giving everything just to help protect us and ensure those freedoms that we enjoy daily but take for granted. Thanks to all of our service people. Happy Memorial Day everyone!
