I just want to take the time to say I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend . I'm not sure every country celebrates it, but for those that do, please remember what it is for. Remember the fallen soldiers, for they gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Here's a link for a short history lessen on Memorial Day. Just click http://www.military.com/memorial-day/?ESRC=army.nl

Read a very interesting part further along today at military.com. It discusses how the average person will not even think about what this weekend stands for. "To John Doe in Anytown USA, this is simply a long weekend, the unofficial commencement of summer. Pools will open, kegs will flow and goods will be purchased at Memorial Day discount prices...."
