Tomorrow is Memorial Day, the day when we remember those who fought and died to preserve our freedom and way of life. We celebrate these heroes during this entire weekend, and rightly so.
As we have noted here on many occasions, freedom isn’t free. It is purchased with the blood and lives of patriots who gave the last full measure of devotion in turning back our enemies, those who would enslave or kill us.
I’d ask you to include in your remembrance not just fallen members of our military, but also our first responders who died in the line of duty. Not all of our society’s enemies are overseas or foreign, sadly some are home-grown or imported.
