Memorial Day May 28, 2018, Remembering those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. To be grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate and honor their lives for their service. Thank you to my father who served in the Calvary in WWII, to my brother Chris who served in Viet Nam (Two tours, bronze star/ Navy Seal), and all those that continue to serve. Never forget.
