World War I Memorial in Mansfield, Massachusetts

 While on your holiday weekend in between BBQ's,  beer runs, parades, and parties maybe stop for a moment and check out many of our beautiful and often looked over memorials amongst us. How often do we pass these without taking a look.  May it serve as a reminder of the sacrifice that made us to honor this day. Take a closer look at the weather beaten statues and plaques. Look at the names of the men and women who earned a place on them. Perhaps whisper a thank you or prayer for them.  I'm sure they would appreciate at least that much. 

Remember to have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!
