Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Please remember today to take a minute or two out of your day today to thank those men and women protecting and serving our country, whether it's through a prayer, attending a Memorial Day ceremony, or donation to the USO. The freedom we enjoy isn't free, but our lives are made easier by those who give theirs. Thank you.
