Memorial Day

Memorial Day is probably most known as the unofficial kick-off to summer. Unfortunately, amidst the cook-outs and trips to the beach the meaning has been lost.

If you have ever been to Arlington National Cemetery (see picture), you can appreciated the endless sea of rolling hills covered with simple white grave markers of the men and women who gave up everything so we may be free. Stones as innumerable as the stars in the heavens fill every hill and valley of that hallowed ground.

Thank you, to all who have served.
