Remember, while you are at a BBQ or with family or out shopping for the latest Memorial Day sale, there is a child without a mother or father by their side because his/her parent(s) made the ultimate sacrifice so you could be with yours.  Thank a service member this weekend for carrying the burden of a nation upon their shoulders.  Thank their families for the sacrifices they’ve endured alongside them.  The memories of war never dissolve or fade, forever present in their lives, a nightmare from which they will never wake.
