Remembering Our Veterans

Memorial Day is traditionally a time to remember the sacrifices made by men and women in uniform. The writer Joseph Campbell once said, “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”

Our veterans, past and present, have sacrificed plenty, and it’s only fitting to pause and give thanks whether silently in private or in a public event.

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those in uniform; this holiday is so much more than back yard barbecues, sales and a day when the banks are closed. The reason we’re able to enjoy our freedoms is due to what our people in uniform have done and continue to do. Those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country should be remembered always, but especially on this Memorial Day holiday.

To all our troops, past and present…thank you.

We’ll return to our usual posting schedule tomorrow.
