We all have one of these in our area, Will I see you there?
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day that we honor those that have served in the US Military and have died protecting our nation and its freedoms. We in St Charles County Missouri have several Veteran Memorials:
St. Peters, Missouri Veterans Memorial
O Fallon, Missouri Veterans Memorial
Lake St. Louis, Missouri Veterans Memorial
Then there is the most familiar of all of our nation's memorials
Arlington National Cemetery
Carved out of 1,100 acres this 624 acre site is the most widely know of the 120 national cemeteries.
Memorial Day is a day to remember those that have died protecting our freedoms. And in that reference I would encourage you to take a few minutes to reflect on what the brave service men and women have done. Maybe even attend one of the services that is going on in your town and while you are there thank a living vet for their service. It may be your son or daughter, a relative, a neighbor or maybe even a stranger THANK THEN nonetheless.
Then after that go back to having a good time at the BBQ, have some for me especially those ribs and finish it off with a cold adult beverage. Pop a top for me while you're at it.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Happy Memorial Day!
BTW, If you are a Vet...........Thank you for your service.
