Memorial Day is a special time of year as it allows for each of us to commemorate all the American soldiers who died while in military service protecting the country they love and the citizens they swore to protect. The Stars & Stripes are flown proudly and it is also a time of reflection as friends and loved ones visit cemeteries and memorials. I am forever indebted to those who did not return home, who were not able to be reunited with their families and loved ones, as most were young and full of life when they died serving our country.
