Remember, this memorial day, to take a moment of silence to remember the men and women who served our country and died doing such.

They deserve such respect everyday, but this is a special day to think of them.

You are so very right but many tend to forget, and for this reason, I am glad this day is dedicated to them

I was eating breakfast out and there was the boy scouts there. They were going to put flags in the military cemetery here. Made me proud of them.

I get goosebumps thinking about the sacrifices our men and women have made for us...I thank a Vet every single Memorial Day (actually, whenever I see one that I can positively identify as a Vet)....

Let me take the time to preemptively thank allllll of our Armed Forces members....THANK YOU...

So tomorrow while I am BBQing and drinking beer I have that freedom because of great men and women who have served in our military.


Thank you to all who have served, I am thankful for those that died for this great country and those citizens who reside here. God bless you all.

My American flag is proudly displayed out front and we have a car show tomorrow to honor vets at a local dealership
