Memorial Day

May 30th is the day we set aside as Memorial Day, though it was celebrated Monday, a moment to honor the men and women that gave their lives in the defense of our Country an’ I thank the Good Lord that we are still a free nation an’ we can stand tall an’ proud as we honor those men an’ women that have given their all so that we might have the opportunity to salute Old Glory, our symbol of freedom an’ that we can have the opportunity to give thanks to our God, who allows the United States of America to remain a free, strong, democratic, and Christian country.
