Memorial Day<\/a> is not about the start of summer, sales, or the end of school, it is about service. It is about honoring the military service of the men and women that protect the United States. Without them, life in the U.S. could be quite different.<\/p>\n

Airman, Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and their families sacrifice daily to protect our freedom to tweet, blog, go shopping, or go to the beach. Think about them as you go to the mall to buy another pair of $200 sneakers.<\/p>\n
