This is kind of a sad satistic, according to a recent survey, many Americans don't understand the meaning of Memorial Day. Memorial Day was formerly known as Decoration Day, a day that commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in military service. As we head into this holiday weekend, while you are celebrating a 3 day weekend (if you are lucky enough to have one) and the un-official start of summer, please take a moment to pause and send out a silent "thank you" to those who make freedom possible.
God Bless our troops, past and present.
