Every year when Memorial Day happens, I like to take time to remember those who served our country with  pride, honor and conviction.

Sure, we as Americans, take this day as an opportunity to BBQ with family and friends, travel, and take mini vacations. Which is great.

But what is the true meaning of Memorial Day? Its a time for us to pay our respects to those who died while serving our country. Brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. They gave their lives for our freedom.

My dad, “Doc”, a Navy Vietnam veteran has had a tradition for the last several years. He always sends out an email to his staff asking for a silent “roll call” of all those who served and died for our great nation.

Today, i would like to do our own version of a Memorial Day Silent Roll Call. Go to our Facebook page  and add your hero to the roll call so that we may honor them this weekend.
