Memorial Day is always nice for a good, long weekend. Nobody will complain about the three-day weekend at the end of May when the weather is beautiful so I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and has a happy Memorial Day. Take a second and think about those that this day is named for though and pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for this country.
GO BRUINS.

To all those who have served…THANK YOU!!!
A humble thank you...
…for all those who serve, and all of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of freedom.
I said it last year and I'll say it again.
For those Bruins that are on campus take a half hour a walk to the National Veterans Cemetary. Walk the grounds, look at the head stones, silently say thanks. For what ever reason these people did what a lot of people don’t do, they served their country in the Armed Forces of the United States. Many, not all, paid the ultimate price in dying on the battlefield protecting our freedoms. Everyone of them deserves our thanks all year long.
Memorial Day Rememberances
As a Viet Nam veteran, I will personally remember fellow classmates from UCLA ROTC who didn’t return from Viet Nam, and fellow soldiers who I served with who died in action. At the time it was hard to see the correlation between that particular war and our liberty and freedoms, but as a much older person, it all comes clear now. Thank God for the current generation who put themselves at the service of their country and for those who pay the ultimate price. It is hard to understand unless one experiences it first-hand, but I am so thankful for our fallen comrades.
