Apart from remembering and honoring the men and women who lost their lives in military service, do you have any plans for the extended Memorial Day weekend?

  • Yep! Taking a trip, barbecuing, or shopping, with friends and/or family! Can't Wait!
  • Sure, I definitely intend to spend time with loved ones, but I'll be keeping it very low-key.
