Please remember the real reason for Memorial day.

Please remember the real reason we are enjoying today.

It is not just a day off to have a 3 day weekend - the beginning of summer, remember the soldiers that gave up their lives to make it possible.

Freedom isn't free.

Our Gift to the Fallen
A Short Poem by Charlie Gragg
Penryn, California

For each soldier that has fallen so that many may stand
We honor their spirit as they pass to God's hand
For without their sacrifice we would live forever in fear
We pray for their loved ones and provide a salute and a tear
God help us heal the wounds of hate and the misery of war
That is our gift to our fallen heroes that are amongst us no more.

Amen. Thank you to all who are now serving and have served. It's an honor just to be able to say Thank You! You are the reason we are free. You are our nation's protectors. May God richly bless you all.
