Memorial Day Weekend. The name says it all, and we must never forget.

It's hard to believe that Memorial Day Weekend is already here. It's time for barbeques, get-togethers and the Indy 500. Traditionally, it also marks the beginning of the summer vacation season as well.

But we should never forget the genuine significance of the occasion. Memorial Day is the day that we recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by those that fought to protect our way of life. Many did so in pain and agony, enduring suffering beyond imagination.

And our remembrances should be more than perfunctory. Every privilege and entitlement that we enjoy as Americans has been purchased at a very high price by the brave men and women that fought and perished for it, and by the families that lost their loved ones forever in the struggle to preserve our freedom.

Every locality in the nation has an official commemoration on this most important day. Wouldn't it be a good thing to pay tribute to our fallen heroes by planning to attend?

And while you're there, shake the hand of a surviving veteran and thank them for their service.

I'm certain that it will be appreciated.
