Let us honor them

This weekend we mark the 142nd Memorial Day. It is a day to remember the fallen hero's of wars past and present. I was going to make a tribute to those that have fallen but had a hard time trying to capture what I wanted to share. I did some searching and found an amazing video that reflects what Memorial Day is about. I know all of you are not religious but I thought the song in this video fits quite well. So while you are all getting together this weekend to barbecue and hang out with your friends and family, please remember those that are missing their loved ones. Please take a moment to remember the ones that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
