Remember Memorial Day Monday, May 30

Remember those who gave their lives for this country and its freedoms.  This day is more than the beginning of the summer season;  it commemorates those who fought and died in the various wars the United States has waged. American men and women are still being called on to serve and sometimes die in Afghanistan and other countries in the Mideast.   Take a few moments to remember them and to pray for their families.  I realize there are differences of opinion  as to how and when the observance began but Congress established the last Monday in May as the official day and this year we observe it Monday.
