American Flag

The flag only flies once a year because of its sentimental value.  It was stolen from the flagpole on Monday, July 4th.

As most of us probably know, besides the cookouts, trips to the beach, and time with family, Memorial Day is really about paying respect to Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we hold dear.

Last winter it seemed as though Memorial Day was never going to get here.  The winter felt endless and wind chills below zero were common on several occasions.  But somehow we all survived the bone-chilling winter of 2015, and now Memorial Day 2015 is almost upon us...finally.  And I must say I am so ready!!

This is not the biggest news of the summer. It's not even the worst thing that's happened down the shore lately, and it's not something multiple law enforcement agencies are working on. What it is though, is a story that touches each and every American.
