Memorial Day

Hello again ya'll! I wanted to take some time to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day. As everyone back home is enjoying the river, cookouts, cold beer or the lake, I will be doing work on my veranda enjoying the nice rain falling. haha. sounds fun right?

As you prepare your weekend festivities and celebrate the service of the fine young men and women who gave their lives to serve our country in the military, I also have one more request. Take a moment to remember also the over 200 members of the Peace Corps who selflessly served the U.S. and their respected country, but lost their lives during service. Often times people associate Memorial Day with just the military, but let me remind you that Peace Corps Volunteers also serve their countries too. I challenge you to serve each and everyday through small grassroots work, as that is the way to change.

Happy Memorial Day!
