Well, maybe not “happy”. We’re all happy to have an extra day off. I know I am. We need, however, to remember why we have this three day weekend. Today we honor those men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for and in service to this country. We do live in the best country in the world. It is flawed, in some areas terribly flawed. And we complain about those flaws. But unlike many other countries, we are able to complain about those flaws (and I do, frequently), and we are able to do so due to the sacrifices made by our military personnel (one of which I used to be, and I am extremely proud of and thankful to my brothers and sisters in service), so a big “thank you” to the men and women of the uniformed and armed services. Thank you for your service, thank you for your sacrifices, which are many. Thank you. My flag is flying, and I am proud to have it do so. Thank you for continuing to ensure I have that right. May God bless you all.
