Memorial Day Tribute 2011

Memorial Day is upon us once again.  The last weekend of this month is much more than just another three day weekend.  As you enjoy the tasty hot dogs and hamburgers from your barbecue, as you kick back in front of your high definition TV with friends and family to enjoy a ball game, take time to remember the thousands of brave men and women who, throughout our history, have sacrificed the things you are enjoying, today, to protect our freedom, our nation and to keep us safe.  Thousands of them are serving in harm's way right now.  We have so much to thank them for.

So, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.  Our brave men and women in uniform would want you to.  That's why they serve.  But, as you do, take a moment to view the video, below, and reflect.

The presentation and beautiful music is a wonderful way to honor this day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. I enjoyed viewing it!

Thank you for sharing your heart for our military: the ones serving and the ones that have gone on before us sacrificing their lives for our freedom. I have been on line looking for something other than Memorial Day vacation...I wanted Memory and this set me in motion. Again, thank you.
