I ask from my fellow BOTL and SOTL to take a minute sometime over this weekend and remember what the day is truly about. Many men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live in peace and freedom. You have mothers who will wake up without being able to see their son/daughter again. Children who will never be able to feel the loving embrace of their father/mother. Wives/husbands who will never be able to hold the hands of their spouse as the walk down the street again.

Please I beg you to keep in mind those who have given their all so that we may enjoy weekends like this. And keep in mind their families who will, for the rest of their lifetime, have to endure the memory of their loved ones in just that....memory.



R.I.P. my fellow brethren.....

You got it! Too many have fallen since 1775 to let people forget.
