I hope everyone has had a wonderful Memorial Day, full of friends, family, fun and sun. That last part may or may not apply depending on where you live. But, it's my hope that each and every one of you take a moment to say a thank you to all our troops who died while serving our nation. My prayers and utmost appreciation go out to those families who are separated from their loved ones today as they serve our country overseas.

And to my two friends who proudly served over in Iraq but didn't come back - you will always be remembered. RIP my American heroes!
