Today is Memorial Day. I have many thoughts but let's begin with what is most important - thanking those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, safety and way of life. I doubt that any contribution I make in life will come even close to what the average American warrior sacrifices and is willing to sacrifice everyday.
I also want to honor the families of the American fallen - you all live with the pride and knowledge of knowing that a loved one made the ultimate sacrifice, but you also live every day, every minute, every second and witness all of life's great adventures without a loved one. Your sacrifice is also significant and deserving to be honored today.
I have had the great pleasure of meeting many American soldiers and veterans, and I tip my hat to them everyday. They are honored on Veteran's Day and should be honored everyday. However, today is about those who died for America, for the cause of freedom and the cause of liberty.
I am humbled and inspired by the ultimate sacrifice. Enjoy the BBQ in heaven, you are the guest of honor.
