Memorial Day is a day that we nationally take a moment to remember those who have been killed serving our country. We also honor veterans and to many, this is a time of family and relaxation signaling the beginning of summer. So some time today, during cook-outs, parades and getting together with family and friends. Take a moment to remember those whose sacrifice makes our fun days possible.
