Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember and honor those who gave their lives to ensure our freedom and our allies freedom . . . but that does not mean we cannot be thankful and honor them all year long by the way we live our lives. Thank you to the known and unknown. Thank you, Tara, for helping us remember.

Perfect Medal of Honor story as we recognize and think about those who died for our freedom on this Memorial Day. Robert Foley exemplifies the spirit in every one of them. He was more afraid for his soldiers than for himself. His men followed his lead. They were fighting with him. He wears his medal, as others have, in remembrance of those who served with him especially those who died or were wounded. A recent video I came across again shows President Trump in 2017 visiting Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. He came across a little 3 year old boy who with his mother were there to honor his father. Trump showed compassion and let the little boy show him his father’s grave. Trump spoke with the little boy and the boy showed him pictures of his father. Trump also spoke to the mother. What a beautiful picture of the Commander in Chief displaying such care even for the very youngest. It was not planned. The videos and photos were all random. They caught Trump honoring the fallen and those left behind. Thank you, Tara, for all your efforts to keep the fire of patriotism burning strong and bright. Enjoy the freedom others gave their lives to preserve for all Americans.
