U.S. Memorial Day Is NOT Just A Three-Day Weekend

Just remember while y'all are enjoying your day off today that U.S. Memorial Day isn't just about having a three-day weekend, or barbecues and family gatherings, or watching war movies.

Its about the men and women in those graves that fought and paid that ultimate sacrifice so y'all can have the freedom to enjoy those activities, as well as the freedoms and liberties granted to us by God, our U.S. Constitution, and by our Constitutional Republic -- all in that order.

So take time out today to remember and reflect on those lives while you enjoy your grilling and your celebration of the federal holiday honoring their memories.

Remember them. Never forget!

God Bless Y'all and Happy U.S. Memorial Day today!
