So here we are days away from out first three day holiday, for most it is the unofficial start of Summer and the first opportunity to spend time camping, grilling, going to the lake or just relaxing with the family for three days and having some much needed time to recharge.

But I wonder how many people stop and think about the meaning of Memorial Day and what was and is sacrificed by so many men and women who serve and have served our country to give us all the freedoms that we enjoy everyday most of which we actually take for granted.

I think something we should all try to do is not only thank a veteran this weekend but spend some time talking to some of our men and women who have served this country so we don't lose the record of the sacrifices the have made for all of us.  So while you are enjoying your three day holiday weekend, take a few moments to thank a veteran for their service and giving all of us the opportunity to enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted each and everyday
