I hope all of you out there have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day.

For those of you that are touched by it in ways others aren't, and may not understand, my heart hurts for you.

Being a former soldier, from a family of soldiers, even I still cannot possibly know the pain and sorrow some of you may have within from the loss of a father, husband, brother, son, daughter or other loved family member while in service to their country.

What I do know is the feeling of pride and honor to have served and I know how proud your lost one felt in their service.

Thank God for their honor and call to duty and mostly for their willingness to sacrifice.

Mike, so very well spoken, spoken as only one who truly knows can. I can only say "Amen" my friend.

Having served in the Coast Guard, and my brother put in 20+ yrs. in the Coast Guard, and our son has 15 years in the army, this Memorial Day is very much in our hearts and minds. Here's wishing all those who have lost relatives can celebrate their devotion to their country.

Nicely said, Mike. The sacrifice of those who have fallen and of those who have lost those loved ones, is something that we can not fully understand, However, it is something we must fully honor and remember on this day and every other day we enjoy the freedoms that we have.
