Tomorrow as you go throughout your day, remember that Memorial Day is not just another day off from work, its not a day to drink, its not a day to have cookouts. Remember that Memorial Day is a day to remember all of the men and women of the Armed Forces. Tomorrow is a day to remember those that have paid the ultimate price for freedom. So tomorrow, if you have a day off from work, remember that there is a Soldier, Sailor, Airman Marine, and Coast Guardsmen standing watch away from their family so you can live free from terrine or oppression. Tomorrow if you drink, raise a toast to the ones that have not returned to their loved ones. Tomorrow if you have a cookout, set a place for them so they will not be forgotten. Say a prayer for them at grace. 

As a veteran, this day means more to me then anything. I have lost brothers and sisters from not only the military but also the fire and police department. I hope that you will join me in not morning them but celebrating them.
