I just wanted to wish you a fun-filled Memorial Day weekend and to take a moment to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. These men and women made the greatest sacrifice to protect and defend our country and we owe them an unending debt of gratitude. Without them, we’d never be the great, free country that we are today.

I’d also like to share with you a quick, “feel-good” poem before the long Memorial Day weekend…

Honor Our Military

Let’s honor our military,
The men and women who serve,
Whose dedication to our country
Does not falter, halt or swerve.

Let’s respect them for their courage;
They’re ready to do what’s right
To keep America safe,
So we can sleep better at night.

Let’s support and defend our soldiers,
Whose hardships are brutal and cruel,
Whose discipline we can’t imagine,
Who follow each order and rule.

Here’s to those who choose to be warriors
And their helpers good and true;
They’re fighting for American values;
They’re fighting for me and you.
