As much as you may be making plans to travel, do some camping, or get out in the backyard and fire up the grill, remember what Memorial Day is all about. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We take a moment to recognize their sacrifice and commit to consciously strive to live the best lives we can to not waste the sacrifices. This is also the unofficial kick-off to summer and I'm always up for expanding time-off so Memorial Day Weekend here we come.

To every person who has defended our country and passed away doing so, this day is for you. Who knows where we would be without your bravery and sacrifice.

I hope that you have enjoyed remembering, the grills are hot and the belly's full!
