For many, Memorial Day Weekend marks the beginning of summer, the end of school, or an annual family gathering. I know for me, it marks another year old as my birthday always falls of this long weekend.

Memorial Day is so much more. I think of my grandfather who volunteered for WWII and flew for the air force; my friend that spent two years in Afghanistan after graduating from college; the countless brave men and men who have served this country.

Enjoy time with family and friends this weekend, and reflect on those that made sacrifices to the cause of liberty and justice for all. America wouldn't be the same without their service.
