Memorial Day

While you're out there enjoying the beach, BBQ's and all the other summer fun God has given us. Just remember what this day really means.

Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend that marks the beginning of summer. To many people, especially the nation's thousands of combat vets this day, which has a history stretching back all the way to the Civil War, is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country.

I have friends serving in Iraq and overseas and what people fail to think about is that over this weekend, while we celebrate with family and friends many of our nations service men and woman are away from their families and their friends defending our freedom. Take a moment and say a quick prayer for their protection and safe return and enjoy the weekend they defend for you and I.

Pray for those who serve and enjoy your 3-Day weekend! I'll be at the beach if you need me!
