Happy Memorial Day. The amazing thing about caring is that it isn't political, it isn't uncool and it isn't controversial. Take a minute - hell, take less than a minute to quietly reflect and remember why most of us are not working today.
Memorial Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (in 2008 on May 26). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, it was expanded after World War I to include casualties of any war or military action.
My family is blessed in that all of our members who have served for our country over the years have returned home safe and secure, but our heart aches for those families who have not been so blessed.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day, enjoy the barbecues, the great weather and of course your family and friends..........and let's hope that this evening the Celts do the unthinkable and repeat Saturday night's performance.
Peace
