A time to Remember and say Thank You

As we all get ready for the start of summer with the first 3 day weekend, Let us not forget what this weekend is all about. There are all kinds of stories as when Memorial Day started, but there is no doubt it was started as a time to remember all the fallen soldiers that fought for our freedom. I recently returned from a trip to our Nation’s Capital for the National Association of Realtors meetings, and was awe inspired and very humbled while standing in the WW II Memorial. Having not served in our military, I found my eyes filled with tears thinking about all the people that lost their lives to protect our freedoms and the things that I know I sometimes take for granted. So I ask that in all the fun in the sun this weekend and the great backyard BBQ's we take a moment even in our own minds to say thank you to all the brave men and women that have served our country so well. I am very proud to be an American and to live in a wonderful place called Grand Junction, Colorado. And for that my hat goes off to all of our military, and I say a heartfelt THANK YOU, and God Bless America.

Michael,

Well said. Wouldn't it be great if we would all find a graveside memorial service on Memorial Day and paid our respects, honored our country and service men and women, and shake the hands of veterans and active duty folks and just say "THANKS".
