Memorial Day

Amid all the festivities this weekend, picnics, bar-b-cues, family gatherings, beach parties, please, at some point Stop. Raise a glass, bow a head, take a moment at least to remember why we have this holiday weekend. Remember those who have served. Those who gave their lives for our freedoms and the freedom of others. Those who served and returned home. All who have served through our history. We remember them with honor and gratitude.

And throughout the year, it is very simple to say thank you. When you see a man or woman in uniform, say "Thank you." You don't even have to pause in your walking down an airport concourse. As you know, I traveled a good bit in the last couple of weeks, some of it by air. And I said Thank You. To groups, to individuals, to young and older. Thank You. So simple. And believe me, they know what you mean and are grateful.

So let's remember all our military service personnel on Memorial Day and . . . remember to say Thank You year round. ~ with blessings
