Each Memorial Day weekend we focus a lot on the Men and Women of the Armed Forces who have laid down their lives in service of this country. I want to take a few minutes and tip my hat to them as well. I do enjoy the freedoms I have due to the sacrifices that they have made. One of the people I think about the most at this time of the year is my Grandpa. He was a strong and stern man who taught me a lot. He taught me the value of hard work, being honest and treating people with respect. While he did also serve in the armed forces, he was also a hero to me and the rest of his grandchildren. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to have him in my life and I feel grateful for the things he left with me that help me in my life to this day. I am sure we all have someone who has been in our life who is very special to us that have passed on. I want to take the time to say thank you to them with you and make sure they are remembered. I hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day.
So hats off to the men and women who have served us by serving this country.
Also hats off to the heroes we have had in our own lives.
