Yes, it marks the first day of summer. Yes, it's a day for barbecues and the beach. Yes, it's a day for family and fun. And yes, some might call a post like this trite and clichéd. To hell with them.
All we enjoy today we enjoy because of the sacrifices made by others. So please, take a moment to ponder that truth and be grateful. It's a debt we'll not ever pay back.

We may never pay it back, but we can pay it forward.

Always feel a mixture of pride and sadness on this day.
Pride for what they did, and sadness that they could not live to enjoy their accomplishments.
Keep a cold one on tap for me, Rich.

Sarah Palin wasn't the only person at the "Rolling Thunder" event in Washington, D.C. while Barack Obama was in Joplin, Missouri at a memorial for the tornado victims and chewing gum while that event took place.
