I celebrated Memorial Day by water skiing with my son and my daughter. I admit the reason for Memorial Day was the furthest thing from my mind. In fact, the closest I ever came to serving our country was registering for the draft when I was in college in 1981. I feel fortunate that I was never called to serve. I am amazed by the men and women who feel just the opposite. They feel fortunate to be called to serve, and many of them paid the ultimate sacrifice of their life. General James Mattis delivered a moving tribute to them at Arlington Cemetery this week. I encourage you to take three minutes to honor those who gave it all.
