Re: It's Memorial Day Weekend

Why is it Memorial Day already? I haven't even had a chance to get out skiing but 3 days this season. At least I got a few days of snow camping in. I'm not ready for summer yet!

To be serious, we should remember those who sacrificed their lives, those who sacrificed their mobility, and those who served, but now are forgotten or even condemned by too many who fail to realize that we have the freedoms that so much of the world lacks, thanks to their sacrifices. A big thank you to those here on Trailspace who served our country and who are still serving our country.
