Remember the Heroes Today

Memorial Day.  A day to remember the sacrifices of those who died so that we might be free.  A day to thank the ones who came home, to help build a continued America.  Do we even remember how the holiday got started?  Today I am going to give you a brief lesson in history, and then say my own personal thank you to Colonel Van T. Barfoot.  If you don’t know who he was, tune in and find out before you go to that barbecue!
