Memorial Day

On this day, Memorial Day 2011, I would like to take a moment to say, "Thank You" to the men and women that have laid down their lives for our country. I would also like to extend that to all of our military, those men and women that set aside their daily lives to go out and risk all, at the behest of the leaders that set their course. Thank you for sacrificing comfort and leisure to put yourself in danger, so that we can enjoy peace and safety. To the family members left behind, thank you for lending us your loved ones. I hope that we may return them to you safely, but if they should perish defending us, we honor them and appreciate all that they have done, and mourn your loss with you.
