As we enter Memorial Day Weekend, many of us will be spending some quality time with family and friends over a three day weekend.  Those of us who have served know too many families for whom this weekend will not be a celebration, but a remembrance.  My family and I will be remembering several fallen shipmates, three of whom received their commission from the same NROTC unit we did.  Many of you will also remember classmates who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Join me this weekend in remembering these individuals along with those that are known to you.
