Don't be fooled by the car commercials, pool supply and grilling sales or flip flop producers. This weekend is Memorial Day weekend - not First Day Of Summer or Official Barbeque Day weekend. Monday is a day (and this weekend is the weekend) to remember those who have died for the sake of our freedom. Freedom comes with a price and a responsibility - the price of lives that are lost or irrevocably changed by combat and the responsibility to remember that freedom, while "guaranteed" and "right"ed by our country's founding documents, is not guaranteed or righted to us in the grander scheme of the world.
Thank you to all who have left this world for the sake of our country's (and others') freedoms. I pray for your families and for your causes.
