  This is a weekend of gatherings, parades, baseball games and fun. Please take a few moments to remember your family, friends and veterans that have passed.

  Lay flowers at your loved ones' gravesites...

  Say a prayer for all in your life - your family and friends that have made you what you are...

  Make a list of family members that that served their country - they deserve a special mention....

Remember, if you fly Ole' Glory, Half Mast until Memorial Day noon....
  When hoisting to Half Mast, go Full Mast quickly than slowly lower to Half mast...
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for remembering yours...
