Hey fellas as you know memorial day is coming up this weekend and as it's a time where park pools open up and family get togethers, drinking and BBQing never forget what the day really means and why we have these freedoms. I challenge you all over the weekend to thank a veteran, gold star mother etc. for their service to this country yes even a gold star mother has done a service to this country by signing for her 17 or 18 year old baby to serve their country and they are the hidden unsung heroes. I don't mean a veteran you know like us on here or a family member or friend I mean one you do not know at all, especially unappreciated vets from Vietnam. If you see anyone wearing veteran attire or even an active service member just walk up and say thank you. You have no idea what it would mean to them coming from a stranger.  But other than that enjoy your weekend drive safe and have fun.

The day to thank a Veteran is on Veteran's Day.  Memorial Day is the day to remember those that have fallen in the Service to their country or those who have served their country with honor and passed.  A more fitting tribute would be to place a small Flag near a Veterans Memorial near where you live, or visit a Cemetery when a friend or family member who served is buried and place a flag near their Gravestone.  Thousands of Active Duty, Reserve, and national Guard Members across the nation visit Veterans Cemetery's and do this to honor those that have served before them.  Maybe next year, get with friends and do a little fund raiser to get the Flags or ask for local businesses to donate small flags, then place them near the Veterans Cemetery entrance, the local Veterans Memorial, or even the Parade Route if your town is having a Parade.  Be creative.  Just maker sure you clear anything you plan to do with the town authorities.  They may even be willing to help or have some project in the works and just need some more volunteers.
