Happy Memorial Day. Memorial day often represents so many things to us - the start of summer, a day off school to study before exams, or time to spend with family and friends, but the reality is that it is a day which means so much more than that. We are incredibly fortunate to live in a free country, but that freedom has come at a cost for so many men, women and families. Today, in the midst of your graduation celebrations and studying for exams, I hope you will also pause with gratitude to think of the bravery of the individuals who have made the decision to help serve in our nation's military and especially of those who lost their lives as a result of their service. They and their families have sacrificed so much and I am grateful not just today, but every day.
So, tomorrow it will be back to being about Kilbourne and I will share some of the pictures I took from graduation, but for tonight, I am just focusing on being thankful for this great nation and the men and women who serve and sacrifice in the military.
