We honor our heroes on Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a special day to honor and remember the brave men and women who died while serving in the US armed forces. When I was younger, every Memorial Day my family would drive to the Eskridge, KS cemetery to put flowers on my grandfathers' graves.

Now that I don't live in Kansas anymore, I take the time to call my parents and talk about the heroes we lost in our family.

Please use the day to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
