Happy Memorial Day!

Thank those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

I am going to admit that I almost didn’t add a letter from the publisher in this newsletter and just sent out a newsletter. I have been so tired staying up late working on freelance design work, that I keep falling asleep sitting up while working. But I realized that it’s an important weekend- Memorial Day Weeked. Sure, it’s a great time to hopefully usher in summer, but the most important thing is the sacrifice so many brave men and women made to allow us our freedom. We have lost too many lives and they deserve to be honored. I know that I am certainly not brave enough to put my life on the line like they are, their bravery astounds me. The sacrifice anyone in military, whether it’s their life, or just an active part of life and they make it home safely- or it’s a spouse giving up a lot to stand behind their loved one, is truly amazing. Thank you for everything you have done. 

And I am hoping to get a guide of Memorial Day events up ASAP. I always find myself choking up at the parades- I always would hope into the parade with my grandfather and March beside him- and to not see him or many of his friends out there always brings the tears. And the POW floats always chill me. 

So please take a few minutes this weekend to thank a vet, thank those that gave the ultimate sacrifice and please be an awesome human being that’s worth their fighting for! 


Enjoy your weekend everyone!
