Today is Memorial Day. While many people will solely be thinking of this day as a paid day off, let us not forget that its actually a day to commemorate the men and woman who sacrificed their lives in an effort to ensure our country&apos;s freedoms.

Irregardless of the political reasons behind engaging our troops in certain conflicts, I am proud of our servicemen for all of their efforts and pray for those that have been injured or sacrificed their lives to protect us. I also pray for the families of these servicemen and wish them all of the strength in the world.
