Happy Memorial Day

In honor of Memorial Day here in the States, thanks to all of you who are serving or have served in the military, and to those who offer their support to spouses, friends or loved ones who are serving or who have served.
We honor your courage and sacrifice, and pray for peace and the safe return of those who stand in harm's way.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John F. Kennedy
