Memorial Day

Another Memorial Day comes around and we are busy with the barbecues, the plants, the yard work -- all the usual activities of a three-day weekend coupled with nice weather.

On Memorial Day we remember the lives that we've lost in defense of our country. I also think of the toll that war takes on the men and women who manage to come home.

Thank you, all, for the sacrifices you have made -- sacrifices of life and of health, so that the liberty of the United States would not have to be sacrificed instead.
