When celebrating Memorial Day, family always seems to come to the forefront in my mind. Lucky for me my cousin Becka, who lives in Pennsylvania, was coming through the area and stopped by to say hello to the family. Apparently Becka came down south with two of her friends, one of which is preparing to get married very soon, and decided they'd stop by on the way home for a day. I didn't get to hang out with Becka much, but I did get to say hello and hold a conversation with her this morning before she hit the road for Pennsylvania. I'm glad Becka stopped by, it was a nice surprise and it reminded me just how cool a family I really have. My parents are great, i've got two great brothers who I wouldn't trade for anything, and i've got a host of relatives like Becka who are better then anyone could ask for.
If you have anyone who is a veteran in your family, like my late grandfather who was a World War II veteran, honor them tomorrow and hold your head up high. It's men like them who allows us to live the way we do today and its men like those in Iraq and Afghanistan who will allow our children to live free for a long, long time to come.
