Memorial Day -- Thank A Veteran

Memorial Day is upon us once again, it is the time of year when people begin to enjoy the summer by cooking out and reuniting with friends and family. It is also a day and weekend when Americans remember those that have fought and died for the freedom we all enjoy.

Occasionally when all the cooking out, drinking, and family fun starts, we forget those that have protected our right to do all these things. We all get overworked, tired, and caught up in the trials of everyday life and people overlook the real reason we have this special weekend.

The true reason for Memorial Day should not be forgotten.

Remember this weekend the sacrifices others have made, the two wars currently being fought, and the veterans that surround us in everyday life. Thank a veteran this weekend, pray for our soldiers and their families, and enjoy your family and the blessings our soldiers have provided us with.

Below are a few pictures and cartoons to help celebrate this Memorial Day, Enjoy!

Chesty Puller T-Shirts and Products

Lewis "Chesty" Puller enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1918 at the age of twenty. That day he and the Corps formed a bond that would forever link them together in history. "Chesty" received his nickname for his barrel chest, but he became a legend in his own time while serving valiantly in Haiti, Nicaragua, the Pacific during WW2, and Korea. His record of earning five Navy Crosses for valor has never been matched, nor has his place in Corps history as one of the finest combat officers ever. Good night, Chesty Puller, wherever you are!
