Memorial Day weekend is upon us and while many of us are planning trips to see family, backyard BBQs, activities on the water - whether it be a day of fishing or hanging out at the sandbar, I would like to remind everyone to take time to remember the real reason why the kids are out of school and the banks are closed - to honor the soldiers that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms - thier lives, and thier families. It is especially important during times that our country is involved in conflicts, such as the wars continuing on in Iraq and Afghanistan. There will be memorial services and events going on across our country, I encourage you to try to attend one. In the Upper Keys, the Sherrif's office and Boy Scout Troop 914 will have a flag ceremony on Monday, May 28th - 9:00am at the Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada. Then the American Legion, VFW, Moose Lodge, Elks Club and Boy Scout Troop 912 will have a flag raising, wreath laying, and prayer service for our fallen soldiers and those serving overseas on Monday, - 11:00am at the TIB Bank in Key Largo.

Great reminder Lisa.  We often take this holiday for granted and forget the purpose behind it.
