In the midst of picnic’s and bar-b-ques with families and friends, let’s reflect on the meaning of why we celebrate the Memorial Day holiday.

“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” — George Washington, in his First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789

Thanks to all our men and woman that have served our Country.  We honor you today.
