Good morning, Big Blue Nation.
I hope you are all having a great three day weekend. Hopefully you’ve attended a cookout, or have visited the pool, or spent some time out on the water somewhere.
Whatever you’re doing for recreation, remember what this day is all about and take some time out to say “Thank You” to a member of the service if you can.

That’s choice A all day.
Most everyone who reads this has family, relatives and/or friends who have fought for our country so we can live in a free society. Some never returned home. So as we celebrate Memorial Day 2019, let’s all make a promise to be a kinder, gentler person as God would want us to be.

Amen, Oscar.
