As we enjoy our holiday and day off today with our friends and family I am reminded there are a ton of families out there who will not have that option due to making the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms we enjoy today. I can remember as a service person how hard it was to be away from my family on days like today so I would like to take the time to say thank you to all of the folks out there who have served and gave up time with their own loved ones so we could stay free. I know there are a lot of veterans here from multiple branches and countries.
