Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a very special day for me. A day of reflection on days gone by and a reminder to all of those that have given so much, even their lives so that all can enjoy the freedoms that we all have.
One thing we all share is that we all have a family member somewhere in our family tree that has served. My American Legion will once again be spending the day going 7 different cemeteries to honor those that have gone before us. Our local Pastor will read the names of those that have pasted, our Color Guard will fire a 21 gun salute and finally our bugler will play taps. As the former Commander I can tell you it is a very moving ceremony and does make one think. Please take a moment this weekend to reflect and remember our past and present service men and women.
