MEMORIAL DAY It is Memorial Day weekend. I hope you do three things for me... actually four...  1. Pray for our Troops, Service Men and Women.  2. Thank them. Shake their hand. Send a card. Make a phone call. Be inconvenienced for those who are constantly inconvenienced for your freedom.  3. Pray for their Families. Hug them. Support them. Invite them into your homes to share meals with them and encourage them while their loved one is overseas or on a mission.  4. Remember Them. If you haven't ever been to Arlington National Cemetery; I would add it to the top of your list of places to visit in the U.S. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is beyond humbling. There are many ways people will celebrate Memorial Day... BBQ with the family and friends, out on the lake, traveling to another country, or at a Rangers Game. Wherever you choose to be this weekend of remembrance and gratitude, please go out of your way...
