Besides God, today was made possible by the millions of troops who gave the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and protect our freedom. Many barbecue, go to the beach &/or to a club, advertise sales or shop for discounts and forget the true meaning of why this day was set aside. We have fun while many go down by gun. I dressed in a manner to commemorate this day & many times while running I thought about war in general. I never like them but since it's happening, just remember & honor. I have never served but I, at the very least, have great respect for those who did & do. Keep up the good work.
On a side note, I ran in the memorial day classic 5k & posted my best time this year. By setting the 2006 P.R., I outkicked someone who normally beats me & by one second, I captured the last master's overall slot (3rd) and, at the same time, tied with a 17 year old with the time of 18:19. Praise the lord & honor the troops; happy memorial day!
