Memorial Day is coming up Monday, May 26th, and for Jay DeMarcus it’s a special day, as is Veteran’s Day and June 6th (D-Day). Jay explains, “I’m a huge history buff and I also have the most utmost respect for the military and the price that they have paid for us and continue to pay for us to enjoy the freedoms that we do today.”

He hopes that as people are celebrating Memorial Day, besides the cookouts and time with family and friends, they remember what the holiday is truly about. He says, “I think that all too often we go about our lives her in America, taking things for granted that have been paid for in blood by so many people that have come before us. And I hope that we never get to the point to where we’re so complacent that we forget those people that are over there for us that are putting their lives on the line for us day in and day out.”

I’m a huge history buff and I also have the most utmost respect for the military and the price that they have paid for us and continue to pay for us to enjoy the freedoms that we do today. And I think that all too often we go about our lives her in America, taking things for granted that have been paid for in blood by so many people that have come before us.
