Have a great Memorial Day weekend

I am sitting at my desk on this beautiful Friday afternoon and thinking about the up coming Memorial Day weekend. Most Americans are probably busy trying to get out of town for a weekend get away but this holiday mentality has led to a “nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.” It is a shame that the true meaning has been faded by three day weekends and barbecues.

Memorial Day is a day which we commemorate those who have died serving our country. How ever you may feel about the war it can not be overlooked that many men and women have lost their lives and many others will not come home for a while. Service members need to be honored and most of all “thanked” for their patriotism.

I hope everyone has a safe holiday and thank you to all the men and women serving in the armed services, we appreciate it. Here are some items from the around the web I found today on or about Memorial Day.
