Hear ye, hear ye! O yez, o yez!
Happy Memorial Day!
This is a time where we get together with family and friends to enjoy the start of summer, but it's also a time to reflect on those heroes who gave their lives in service to this great country so we can have this holiday and the freedoms we treasure. We never forget their sacrifice.
