Well, today is Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th, 2008 and to many of us that means three-day weekends, backyard BBQ’s, family gatherings and of course, the unofficial start of summer. Most importantly, though, Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor our nation’s war heroes.

Today, my husband and I visited Arlington National Cemetery where we witnessed the last Changing of the Guard ceremony of the evening for the Tomb of the Unknowns. On this special day, we were honored to be present to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Let us also honor those who have served or continue to serve our country. The month of May is designated by Congress as National Military Appreciation Month, but we can show our gratitude all year long. Our service men & women need to know we appreciate their contribution and sacrifices in protecting and defending our nation’s freedom. So, if you know someone who is retired military or active duty, please thank them for serving and protecting us.

I hope you had a safe holiday weekend!
