“…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” – Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 19 November, 1863

Humbly we’d remind our friends out and about today to take a minute to step back from the “Five B’s” (blue wings, bayou/beach, brats, burgers, and beer) and embrace a moment of silence today to truly ponder the sacrifice many have paid with their lives in service of our country. Perhaps even attend a Memorial Day ceremony hosted around the country.
