For
those who live
outside the U.S. and may be wondering why
this seems to be a slow business day for a
Monday it's likely because few Americans are on the
job today. This is a special holiday here - Memorial
Day - the day we set aside to honor the men
and women who gave their lives in military
service for the United States. We
are thankful for all (and the families of all) who have
served in the Armed Forces over the years
but owe a special debt of gratitude that can
never be fully repaid to those who made the
ultimate sacrifice for their country. My
father was one of the fortunate ones who fought and came back after serving in the U.S. Navy during
World War II. He was about 23 years old when
the photo at right was taken. For those who have served (and those who continue to serve) assuring the
freedom we enjoy today, there is no way we can
thank you enough!
