For many of us though, Memorial Day means a little more. My wife just finished 22 years in both the USAF and the USAF Reserves and retired last February as a Lt. Colonel. My father was a flight mechanic instructor during Vietnam, our grandparents fought in WWII, and generally, we know a lot of great men and women currently serving around the world. This weekend is about them, their families, and the sacrifices that we all made over the years. A lot was sacrificed so that we can have fun at the lake, something that a lot of people around the world will never be able to do.
So while you are out playing this weekend, please, give a thought the people in service who have helped make it possible for us to live the way we do. And if you are looking for a gift for your soldier, airman, marine or sailor, I talked my friend Dave over at ChanizOnline in to giving everyone a 10% off coupon (BlessOurVets2010) for any St. George medal, the patron saint of soldiers, that he has for sale.
Most importantly, take the time to thank a soldier this weekend, thank his or her family, and let them know that you appreciate all that they do.
