On this Memorial Day we here at Parenting Geekly would like to thank those who have served and those who currently serve our country.  It is through the sacrifice of you and your families that we are able to live in freedom.

We ask that you take a moment today to think of/pray for/send good energy to the friends and families of those soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in the name of service to the United States.  For so many of us this long weekend is a time to get together with our loved ones, and yet the reason we have this holiday is to honor those who are no longer with their families.
