I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the men and women who have given their lives for my freedom. To me this is not a day to say "thanks" to anyone in uniform. That is what Veteran's Day is for. This is a day to remember and pay respect to those people who actually made the ultimate sacrifice for us. Military members do sacrifice a great deal to serve, but today is the day to remember the ones who gave their very lives and are no longer here to enjoy BBQs with their family and friends on Memorial day. This is a day to stop for a moment and look at all the empty chairs at the BBQs around the nation, and remember the people who once sat there. So from a very grateful heart, I say thank you.
