I won’t keep you long today. If you’re in the US you don’t want to be late for the parade and mattress sale right after you post the obligatory “It’s not just about picnics” Facebook post. If you’re not in the US you have something similar going on or could use a day off from my anyway.

I came up with a dandy idea on how you can actually remember that they gave their all. Give a pint of yours. Really remember Memorial Day with a trip to the blood bank and donate a pint or two. Yes, you can give two if you donate just red cells. And when you get your plasma back you get a little extra fluid and you actually leave the donation center feeling better than you did when you got there. And you still get a cookie. Trust me I know.

So raise a pint to those who gave their all!
