While most are planning bbq's, time at the beach, lake, river, or just simply chilling with family and friends, lets not lose site of what Memorial day is really all about.
Whether one agrees or not with the war in Iraq or the previous wars our country has fought in, the fact remains that thousands of our Military personnel wake up each day to defend our land from those that wish to harm us.
I have never served in the military but have tremendous respect for those that do and have served. San Diego is home to a very large military population. The Marines at Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, The Marine Corp Recruiting Depot, and the Western Pacific Fleet of the US Navy all are based here.
So a big high 5 and thank you to all of you that so graciously and honorably serve and defend our country!
And most importantly lets not let the memory of our fallen soldiers such as my friend Capt. Alan Rowe ever fade.
