While many associate Veterans Day and Memorial Day with service, the two are not the same. Veterans Day is a celebration of those who serve and have served. Memorial Day is a solemn day to reflect on those veterans and military personnel who are deceased.

I salute the many fallen soldiers that sacrificed their life so that we can continue to enjoy the things that many countries envy. We must forever remember that, Freedom is not Free, someone's son/daughter stood in the gape while you were sleeping and enjoying the things life has to offer. We should never take for granted what so many died for...that's to keep America free for ALL its people.
