We have all seen the 'poppy pushers' at the retail outlets the Friday before Memorial Day. Very politely asking for your to donate to receive a poppy in remembrance of Memorial Day.

It is a weekend of remembrance, to pay honor to those who have paid the ultimate price in defense of our country and our freedom. And while nearly 40 million Americans will be on the road this weekend, traveling 50 miles or further for the holiday, many more will chose to stay close to home...

Today is Memorial Day in the United States, a federal holiday to commemorate the memory of the men and women who died serving in the Armed Forces. It's also the end of an interesting month for fans of Captain America. In his 75th year of existence, the Sentinel of Liberty has starred in one of the most critically acclaimed superhero films of all time, and he's been the subject of a controversial new storyline in the pages of Captain America: Steve Rogers #1. Yet whatever his status in the comics, he remains an icon to the public at large, standing for the platonic ideals of the American nation at its very best. One of the best examples of what he represents comes from a series of one-shot comics telling of Cap's exploits in World War II and Iraq, with a shared focus on the ordinary soldiers fighting beside him.

John Michael Montgomery will be spending his Memorial Day performing at the nation's largest Memorial Day event.

They have fought to keep our country safe! On this day we remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice while defending our country.
