Remembering this Memorial Day

On Monday, once again, we celebrate Memorial Day.  On this federal holiday we pause to remember the men and women of our armed forces who died while serving our country.  As the wars in the Middle East wind down and our troops return, please take some time to honor the thousands of men and women who gave their lives over the past 238 years to defend our country and our way of life.  We owe them so much!

Memorial Day is also an appropriate time to remember the thousands of men and women who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces.  Many have returned with injuries, and thousands more are returning to civilian life after serving their country.

This Memorial Day take a moment to remember those that gave their lives, and thank the members of our military and our veterans.  Attend a Memorial Day celebration in your community.  Then, do something to help.  Offer a job to a vet, volunteer your time or donate to one of the many organizations that help our military and our veterans.  The Disabled American Veterans and Wounded Warrior Project are just two organizations that make a difference.

Once again, this year, I am including the Warrior Song Tribute for your Memorial Day entertainment.
