Memorial Day - Honoring those who have died in Service to our Nation

Memorial Day (Monday May 28, 2012) is a day for honoring those who died in the service of our country and the best way I know to do that is to also honor and say thanks to our veterans and active duty military.  L&W is blessed to have a host of current and former military members working with us and to them a special thanks from me.

On this Memorial Day when you are barbecuing in the back yard or swimming at the beach, or just relaxing on the couch, take time to remember and to say thanks to someone you know who has served or is serving.  They don't expect it, but they certainly do deserve it because without their service we would not enjoy the freedoms we cherish so much.

For those of you who know or work with the L&W team, please take a special moment this Memorial Day to remember Michael Weger, the son of Greg and Tricia Weger.  Michael gave all that he had to give for America on October 12, 2004 when he and several members of his platoon were killed in action in Iraq.  Greg and Trish no words can ever heal your hurt or thank you enough for Michael's service but please know you and Michael will be in our thoughts this Memorial Day and always.

God Bless the United States of America and the men and women who keep our country free!

This tribute to the American soldier by Lt. Col. Oliver North was done on Veteran's Day, but it is the best expression of honor for our troops I have have ever heard and I share it here for you to watch.  Do me a special favor, watch it this Memorial Day and think about how much we owe these young men and women.
