I know that Tim will probably have the official BRB post for this later this weekend but I just wanted to take a second to offer my gratitude for the men and women that have served this country, risked it all and paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.

Over the course of over 200 years, the sacrifice of patriot's blood has allowed us to continue to speak freely and have relative freedom in how we live our lives, nourish our spirits and pursue our dreams. This is my moment to pause being a chuckle-head for a couple of seconds and be grateful.

Thank you veterans for your service, but most importantly, this weekend... thank you to all those who didn't come back.
