Take a moment this Memorial Day weekend to remember the sacrifices made on our behalf by the nation's men and women in the military. For over two hundred years they have stood between us and our enemies abroad.
Don't forget in your meditations the service of our first responders: law enforcement, fire fighters, and EMTs. They stand between us and the threats here at home.
Finally, for those of us whose parents are gone, remember their love and labor that provided our 'launching pad.' So much of what we are, we owe to them.
