Monday, May 30th is Memorial Day. It’s the start of the summer season and a fun filled 3 day weekend! Time to hit the water parks, the beach, maybe take a swim. Friends and families get together for cookouts and perhaps to have a beer or two (assuming they are 21 or older).

It’s time to stop.

Our freedom to enjoy water parks, the beach, cookouts, and so much more. While you’re fighting traffic to get where you are going, remember those who fought for you. Most of us have a friend or family member who served in the military. Perhaps you’re even traveling with one right now.
