Memorial Day is upon us and it’s time to remind everyone of a few things:

  1. This is NOT a “thank you for your service…” weekend
  2. THIS weekend is specifically designed to honor those who have given their lives in the service of our nation
  3. THIS weekend is specifically designed to honor our Gold Star Families that live with those losses
  4. OUR RESPONSIBILITY:  at some point during the weekend, stop the proceedings and makes sure every understand the top three bullets here and how LUCKY they are to be born American and enjoy all the opportunities that we have.  Their part in all of this is to serve in their own way in their own communities — SERVICE is what makes this country what it is.

We’ll talk about it.
