Happy Memorial Day Weekend

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend. And try to remember all of the men and women who have died in wars over the past 230+ years to give us the freedom we have today to hop in the back of boats and wake board, grill out, and spend time with those we love.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed this year on 2007-05-28). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911.
