Memorial

This thought has been burning in my heart and head the past week. I can say it because I've earned some capital:
Remember the FALLEN on Memorial Day. I've seen a lot of Memorial Day Observances get caught up in the soldiers who are fighting our wars now. As a combat veteran of said wars I appreciate the gratitude...but that's what Veterans Day is for. Let's give our fallen comrades the honor they deserve and remember THEM first and foremost. Enjoy your BBQ and day off, but don't forget the Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, or Marine who gave it all so that you could enjoy the life you live. Don't enjoy the spoils of a day off without pausing to remember those that paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Happy Memorial Day!
