Remembering . . . A Celebration of Memorial Day

I am taking time today to remember and to thank all of those brave men and women who serve our country past and present, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we continue to enjoy.  They should not be forgotten.  Unfortunately, our country often ignores and fails to take care of our returning veterans.  It seems a shame that one has to die in order to receive the attention, the respect, and the basic dignity one deserves.  Let us make an effort to properly honor all who have served, the living as well as the dead.
