Remember what this weekend is actually for.

Its not about the 3 day weekend for some.
Its not about a bbq with your family and friends
Its not about traveling
Its not about beer and burgers
Its not about the beaches
Its not about spending time by the pool
Its not about the picnic at the park.

Its about those who gave all to keep us in a country that is a bit safer.
It is about having empathy for the families who are being missed this weekend and everyday.
Its about the sacrifice that brave and woman gave because they believed in fighting for your right to be safe in your own home.

Renumber to take a moment to thank the brave men and woman who gave all and never asked for anything in return.

Renember to be kind to those who are struggling a bit more this weekend.

Remember land of the free, because of the brave.

AMEN.

I visited a friend I served with in the National Cemetery in Chatanooga TN. I had driven by National Cemeteries before but at 55 I actually walked through and looking out upon row after row of gravestones I was humbled. I am very patriotic, can cry during the national anthem, but that walk really choked me up to realize how truly blessed my life has been. Thanks to all the veterans for their service, I appreciate you all.
