Yesterday was Memorial Day. Hopefully you took some time to remember and thank those who have given their lives to protect our freedom. It's great that we take a day once a year to do that, but it's something we should do more often. 

Jay and I stopped at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery near Camp Ripley on Saturday. Some had come to put flowers on the graves of loved ones. Others, like us, didn't know anyone buried there. We just wanted at least part of our Memorial Day Weekend to be what it's intended to be. A time to say thank you.
