We hope all had a most meaningful Memorial Day. Memorial Day (Decoration Day), a day when America remembers her fallen who gave their last full measure of devotion that freedom and liberty might extend to the very end of time. We do not presume to speak for them, but I doubt that most would not consider it a tribute to them that their fellow countrymen spend time with friends and family enjoying the burgers and hot dogs of freedom. However, It’s incumbent upon all Americans to pause and honor them for the freedom our brothers and sisters sacrifice made possible for all future Americans.

RED LETTER DAY!
