Today is Memorial Day and I, for one, am thankful for all of the brave men and women of our armed forces that put their lives on the line to enable us to enjoy the freedom that we sometimes take for granted.  No matter how you celebrate, please keep those that have served and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in your thoughts.
