While Memorial Day Weekend typically kicks off the summer season at your local beach with the grills going and suds be passed around, we want to take a moment to remember the real reason why this is a holiday. Memorial Day isn't just another day.

It's a day to think about those who served in the United States' armed forces and passed during their duty.

Because of some who gave us all, we get to enjoy the freedoms of the great 'ol U-S-of-A. We cannot forget that our freedoms do not come without a price. It came by way of service members who paid with their own lives.

Whether you're surrounded by your family at a BBQ or watching a baseball game or heading to the car dealer to take advantage of sales pricing, take a moment to consider those who are no longer with us. In fact, consider what you can do to let our current service members know that we appreciate them and that we care. Once they're gone, we can only remember.

Enjoy Memorial Day and be safe, Spies.

Thank you to all of the U.S. service personnel who have fought and lost their lives in an effort to make America what it is.


Twenty-four notes. It's a simple melody, 150 years old, that can express our gratitude when words fail. Taps honors the men and women who have laid down their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Fair winds and following seas, shipmates.
