Memorial Day 2020, Take time today to remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Each year I attend the memorial day service at our local cemetery and of course this year there is no service. It has always been a time to reflect and remember. Also at 3 p.m. today is a national moment of remembrance. Each year when I go out to south dakota I stop at the Black Hills National Cemetery. Its tough to describe the feeling of being there, a few pics from there below. Be safe everyone. Pete
