Today is Memorial Day, 2009!
Today is a day put aside as a Federal holiday to observe and remember our brave men and women who have/are militarily serving our country.
If you have a family member, friend, co-worker, or associate who has served in the Armed Forces, please take the time today to express your gratitude at their service, and help remember those who lost their lives serving our nation.
Also, as a sidenote, Memorial Day is considered by most to be the “unofficial” start of the Summer season! Woot!
As always, I have included a few links to some web resources that give more information on observances, traditions, and orginations of this holiday. Have a great day and see ya tomorrow!
