So this is what it feels like to have a holiday off from work! In the television news business, you learn not to believe in holidays since you work almost every bloody one. God bless being a state and higher education employee now!

I slept late this morning, and I’ll be firing up the grill around 11. I can’t wait to grill out again. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon cleaning and prepping it yesterday. Then I went to see the new “Indiana Jones” movie. Loved it!

All joking aside, please take time out of your schedule today to remember why we have this holiday. We have lost so many courageous men and women during military battles, and we wouldn’t have our freedom if not for them. I’m an Air Force veteran, but I never fought in a conflict. Thank you to my fellow vets who did.
