Memorial Day

It is Memorial Day in the states today and I was thinking about what that meant. For most of my life it has meant an extra day off and not much else. I ashamedly admit for many years I didn’t even know what it was for. The official holiday is to honor the men and women who died defending our country. So to them and their families I would like to say thank you. Thank you for making the sacrifices you did. It is because men and women like yourself that I am able to enjoy the freedoms and protection that I do as an American. No matter where I live, at home or abroad. So thanks.



I would also like to thank members of my family who have served in the military and chose to do a job that I chose not to. My grandfather Russell Workman, my dad Tom Lindell and my cousin John Horning who is on his way to Germany this fall. Thanks for everything.
