Memorial Day Weekend

This is Memorial Day weekend and I feel I should salute the troops.  Now that my son is in the Army, graduating Basic Training next week, a tribute to all who have given the ultimate price.  My daughter-in-law is a great military wife and understands the stresses that are put on families but it's still hard.  We try not to think about the unthinkable.  I never really thought about what Memorial Day stood for until my son joined.  It was always just the kick off to Summer, a reason to go to the beach, have big sales everywhere and have a cook out.  So here is  a salute to the troops!  Thank you for all you do and give and sacrifice.  We are proud to be Americans!
