I'm embarrassed to say I never realized Freeport had a Memorial Day Celebration. In the most recent past we've gone to the remembrance at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies where our Zach is buried. Samantha knew there was something in Freeport this morning, and after a late night of grad parties, did get up so we could go, a bit late, but we got there. It was excellent -- superior in some ways to others we've been to that brought in the political figures.
Of course, maybe we missed that part, coming late. I hope all of us remember the sacrifices of our military and their families for over 200 years and recommit ourselves to keeping watch over our inalienable rights to Liberty and Justice in respect for those who've gone before. We must not slumber or sleep anymore but be vigilant and united and informed. And, we must teach our children the truths and ideals upon which our nation was founded.
