Remembering...

...those who served our country and gave their lives to protect the freedoms that we enjoy today

and

...the family members who lost loved ones in faraway lands and who sacrificed so that we might be free

May we never forget or so easily give up the rights and freedoms that brave men and women over the years have given their lives to protect.

and was taken by my mom when my dad was serving in Vietnam

To everyone who served in the armed forces, to those who never got to welcome home a loved one, and to the brave men and women who are still fighting for freedom around the world...

THANK YOU!

Happy Memorial Day!
