I spent all day working in my garden and my yard.

I spent all day working in my garden and my yard. After 2 weeks offshore the honey do list gets pretty large. You guys did a great job with the bears. Hats off to all of you and our bull leader The CEO. I hope everyone has a safe and great Memorial Day Weekend. As we pack our coolers, BBQ on the grill, enjoy time with friends and family, and relax on our day off lets not forget the reason for this day. It is the soldier, not the journalist, that gives us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the church, that gives us freedom of religion. It is the soldier, not the congress, that gives us the right to keep and bear arms. I could go on and on, but you get my point. If you don't stand behind and support our troops(HERO'S), feel free to stand in front of them. Someone said this earlier and they were right, those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, paid it so that we could speak freely here on the hangout. If you see a vet this weekend, walk right up to them, shake their hand, and thank them for their service. Look them right in the eye and get a firm grip as you do this. Watch what happens. I do this every time I see one of our BRAVE HERO'S. The look on their face is priceless. I promise it will make your day but not nearly as much as it will make theirs. So, to all out there that FREELY served this great nation let me say I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my family thanks you, and my great country thanks you. God bless each and every one of you, and GOD BLESS OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Memorial Day brothers and sisters.
