As we get ready to light the grills, have fun at the lake or hang out at the pool to celebrate Memorial Day, please take a moment to reflect on the reason for the day.

From the Revolutionary War through today, our nation's military personnel have been put in harm's way in various ways.  Some of them have paid the ultimate sacrifice.  It is to honor them and their families that today was set aside.

Have a great day today!  You have that right, a right that has been protected by our troops.
