Remember Memorial Day this Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend, in addition to being the unofficial start of summer, is a great time to get out and golf.  I hacked my way through a soggy 18 holes yesterday morning, as we have had rain up here in Michigan for at least the last 75 days in a row.  This weekend is also a great time to have some friends over for a barbecue and to drink some beer.  There are great sports to watch on television this weekend.  What ever you do this weekend, take a little time to remember what Memorial Day is all about.  Many men and women gave their lives so that we all have the freedom to do whatever it is we want to do -this weekend and every weekend.  Some of these fallen heroes were drafted into service, and some of them volunteered to fight for their country.  Freedom isn’t free and countless people have paid the ultimate price for our liberty.  One day a year is not enough to remember all that they have done for our country, but on this one day be sure to take some time to remember all of the lost service men and women who have died for our country.
