This note from my daughter Megan (11) was written two years ago, and lives on the wall of my office.  I look at it every day, and not just because my daughter Nicole (26) is a soldier (she is serving in the Navy, stationed in Sicily).  We all, everyday, owe our lives and our lifestyle to our soldiers.  I would echo Megan: thank you for fighting for our rights, our freedom, and our lives as they are today.  Thank you for being there for our country.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!
