It's so nice to have 3 day weekend once in awhile. I know this holiday has a special meaning behind it. Most of us look forward to hanging out with family and friends, eating great food and getting some sun. I don't come from a military background. My Grandfather was in the service years and years ago, before my mother was born. Aside from that I haven't had close friends involved in an active military life. Having moved to San Antonio, I have come to respect the families and people who are a great big part of why we are able to live the way we do. I am grateful to the men and women who serve our country. I am also grateful for the sacrifices their families make by letting go of a father, mother, child, or sibling while these people fight hard to protect us. Many of us don't like what is going on in government or feel that our leaders are letting us down. In many ways I could agree, however life could be much more difficult. Whether or not you agree with everything going on, remember that there are still people giving their life for us. Lets take a minute and pray for these people and their families. Happy Memorial Day
