Today is Memorial day. A day in which we find ourselves free of the daily grind. Many of us are off of work or out of school. This allows us to enjoy the company of our friends and family while doing the things that we love. Many will find themselves at a bbq or a ballgame. Some will find themselves trail riding or showing horses. What ever it might be that you find yourself doing be sure to pause for a moment and allow the memory of the people who made these freedoms possible to creep into your conscience. Although these people have left our earthly realm their memories remain with the families they left behind. It is with the highest honor we should hold not only the soldiers who have fallen but the parents, partners, & children of the same who now have a soldier sized hole in their lives that can never be filled. Our thoughts and prayers should ever remain with them but unfortunately the business of daily life cannot lend itself to the constant thought of what we should be most thankful for. So it is my hope this Memorial Day we all can find a fleeting moment to quietly remember those who have unselfishly made the ultimate sacrifice.
