"Freedom is not free"
The lives of men and women who served this country, continue to serve and are inspired to serve are the foundation by which we can call ourself the greatest country in the world. They are the reason we are able to have a long weekend. They are the reason we can enjoy our lives and be free to do what we want.
Remember this as you celebrate your freedom.
For those of us who have lost loved ones, close friends and family, we will raise a glass to your memory and thank you for what you gave so that we may be free.
