Happy Memorial Day!

Although officially, Memorial Day will fall later this week, it will be observed this Monday. So in the US, this weekend is always called “The Unofficial Start to Summer”.

There will be parades, B-B-Qs, parties, shore getaways, lake getaways, family gatherings, picnics, notable radio contests, etc, etc, etc.

No matter how you are spending your weekend, please be safe and have a very good time. But somewhere during that good time, please take a moment to remember and pray for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation, during all the conflicts that we have faced. That is what this holiday is all about.

Freedom is not free and we honor those who have paid the debt for us.

“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
