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

It is perhaps, a habit, to incorporate the word, "Happy", with any given holiday that we observe...
- Happy Birthday
- Happy Fourth of July
- Happy Anniversary
But on a day such as today, we instead should remember all those Men and Women, who have given their lives, so that we may enjoy the freedom we sometimes take for granted...
I served...some still do...

So today should be a happy day... yes; spending time with family, friends, loved ones... Just remember as you go about your day, that someone's Dad, Mom, Grandfather or Grandmother... Husband, or Wife... is still giving their all, or... has given their all, so that we can enjoy something that's so easy to have, but so very hard to defend...
Freedom
I send my honor and respect, to all of you who still defend this right, and to those who have, or had family or friends, that gave the ultimate price...
Happy Memorial Day
