Memorial Day, Baseball & BBQ

As we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, there are many things to remember and celebrate — either it be baseball or the history of this great nation. Baseball does play an important part in shaping America. When 9/11 happened, it was baseball that shaped the United States and brought it back on its feet. It’s baseball that brings smiles to so many soldiers, sailors, marines, etc., serving this great country. It’s baseball that will be played as this holiday is observed and many of the teams will be wearing the American flag on their hat or sleeve.

So, as we flip burgers, hot dogs and listen to the game let’s really remember what today is all about. Let’s remember the invasion of Omaha Beach or the service people deployed either it be in Iraq, Afghanistan or another part of the world. We can’t turn our backs on them, but pray for them. If we do see someone in uniform, say "thank you"and see the smile you will bring to their face.

Let’s put all political feelings aside and remember this day, not for just baseball, but for the military.
