Memorial Day...A Day to Remember & Celebrate Tradition

America is hope. 
It is compassion. 
It is excellence. It is valor.
Paul Tsongas

I'm thankful to live in a small upstate New York town. A community of people who value their country, neighbors, and our future. Last weekend was spent remembering the men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. 

It was spent remembering the families who lost loved ones for this service. It was a spent focusing on our part today, to remember and keep hope alive. It was focused on prayer, gathering, and tradition.

I'm thankful to be an active part of each.

How do you feel after the Memorial Day festivities have come to a close?
