As everyone in the U.S.A. prepares for the Memorial Day weekend, I imagine this weekend will be quite different than past years.

We will celebrate the start of summer with fireworks, parades, family picnics – hopefully while keeping others and ourselves safe. It isn’t just about picnics and parades, however.

We must always remember what we are recognizing – Our Veterans – the men and women of our armed forces who gave their lives for our freedom.

From the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq millions died. We are free because of them.

• Wear a mask, keep a safe distance, wash your hands.
• Stay Safe!
• Consider it your patriotic duty!
