TNAV Memorial Day Edition

From a Gold Star Family Member: Family and friends, this weekend is a tough one for us Gold Star Families as we remember our loved ones who died in service to this country. As you are enjoying this weekend listening to the Indy 500, having a family BBQ, or doing whatever you are doing, remember you can do these things because of those who have fought and died for our freedoms throughout history. Us Gold Stars and Battle Buddies have holes in our hearts that will never fill, but we persevere because we are proud of our loved one or battle buddy. Please do not say Happy Memorial Day, it is not happy for many of us.

Thank you my Gold Star family for our loved ones' sacrifice. May we continue to persevere, one day at a time, until we meet meet our angels.

Remember don't say "Happy Memorial Day", rather say "Honor Memorial Day".
