Don't Forget


This weekend is not about the unofficial beginning of summer. It is not a reason to break out the grill and through a picnic. It is not the opening of your local swimming pool. It is not an excuse to have a day off from work.

It is first and foremost a day to honor those who have given their lives so that you have the freedom to enjoy those things and so many more. Take a moment out of whatever you get up to this weekend and give thanks to those brave men and women. And while you’re at it, say thank you out loud to all the veterans and current members of our armed forces because they were and are willing to die for you.

Happy and safe weekend.
