Memorial Day

I hope you are all enjoying this long holiday weekend without consuming too many empty calories and getting off track from your eating plan.

It is also my wish that with today being Memorial Day you take a moment to remember our soldiers lost to past and present wars. Too many of us go about the holiday immune to its significance. It is why we have this extra day of "freedom" away from work responsibilities.

What I'd like to suggest is that you put some of the extra money you might be indulging in today (or any other day) for any fun or eating activity and spend some of it on a wounded vet instead. "The Kitchen Table Gang" can walk you through the appropriate steps to send something like a care package, a greeting card, a paper back book or any other needed item to the volunteer Services Officer at any VA hospital or medical facility. This simply reminds vets we have not forgotten them and the sacrifice they make for us by being in the service.
