Memorial Day Note from Bob



Memorial Day is an important opportunity for all Americans to remember the men and women who have given their lives in the defense of our country. I served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War and was very fortunate to have never seen battle, but many of my high school friends lost their lives in defense of our way of life and of my personal opportunity to pursue my own hopes and dreams. I am so grateful for their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their family members. Please take a moment on Memorial Day to think of how we have all benefited from the men and women of the US Military who laid down their lives for our freedom and our way of life.  Memorial Day isn’t just a Holiday, it’s a day to honor and remember what they did for us.

-Bob Stallings
