I would like to take some time to wish you all a wonderful Memorial Day, but most of all I would like to personaly thank all of our veterans past and present. Regardless of your branch of service and MOS, it is because of your courage and selfless service that we live in a free society. This is a day to remember those that have paid the ultimate price so that others may prosper.

To many families this day will have a much greater meaning than getting to the mall for the big sale. This is a day of rememberance for loved ones that will never see their children change and grow. I am missing friends and relatives as well as many of you probably are. If you see a service member today, tell them thanks and let them know somebody appriciates the sacrifice they are making.

This is a day to remember those that have paid the ultimate price so that others may prosper.


Thanks, and may this be a happy yet thoughtful day.
