This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom. Thank you to all US servicemen and women for your sacrifice, and to the families that are living with the loss of a loved one.

Honoring Memorial Day

Remembering those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. To be grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate and honor their lives for their service. Thank you to my father who served in the Calvary in WWII, to my brother Chris who served in Viet Nam (Two tours, bronze star/ Navy Seal), and to all those that continue to serve. 

Never forget.
