As we go about our long weekend, Please don't forget the reason for this Holiday. We want to honor all of Americas heroes that are no longer with us. They paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with the blanket of Freedom we enjoy today.
So as we play a round of golf, barbecue, or spend time with family let us remember. Freedom is not free !!..... and we are a grateful Nation.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John F. Kennedy
