Memorial Day
is not just another 3-day holiday weekend. While people are grilling,
traveling, having fun with friends and families, others are not so jovial.
Family members of fallen soldiers see Memorial Day as what it should be, a
respectful recognition of the ultimate sacrifice given. The politics of war
will never be clear but what is clear is that honorable Americans serve their
country and sometimes those Americans die during the course of that service. Twenty
one service members have died so far this year. One hundred thirty two were
killed during 2013. The families of these one hundred fifty three service
members will have a very different experience this Memorial Day. These fallen
soldiers along with the many more over the history of this country gave their
lives in the most ultimate sacrifice anyone can give their country. Please
consider taking some time this Memorial Day weekend to reflect on those who
have fallen to protect the freedoms that we enjoy each and every day.

Americans.
