Memorial Day

The first summer holiday is upon us once again. It's Memorial Day, a day of parades, picnics, and lawn parties. It is also a day when we stop and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the liberty and freedoms we enjoy today.
We as Americans fiercely defend these hard won freedoms. In war after war, battle after battle, would be dictators learned that the American fighting spirit would not die.
To quote President Obama:
"It's what led a ragtag militia to face British soldiers at Lexington and Concord," Obama said. "It's what led young men, in a country divided half slave and half free, to take up arms to save our union. It's what led patriots in each generation to sacrifice their own lives to secure the life of our nation, from the trenches of World War I to the battles of World War II, from Inchon and Khe Sanh, from Mosul to Marjah."
As we enjoy this summer holiday with our families, let us stop for a moment and remember the cost of liberty. Let us offer a prayer of thanks for our freedom and those that made it possible.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY to all our customers and friends from all of us at Uptown Auto Service!
