Memorial Day reminds us that freedom isn't free. We are reminded that each fold of a flag holds meaning—faith, sacrifice, peace, hope. But the final fold… the one cradled and handed to a grieving family… that one says what words cannot.

We will never forget.

They could see that from your costume, makeup and your entourage. Sing 'The Star Spangled Banner' with the courtesy and humility that tells the audience that it is about America, not you. And please not everything needs to be spunked up! We’re getting a little weary of that. Francis Scott Key does not need any help." Semper Fi
