Memorial Day 2009

THIS IS IT!! Memorial Day Weekend 2009! This weekend is typically hailed as the start of summer. Graduations, sunshine, fishing, golfing, boating - and a host of fabulous outdoor activities. Otter Tail County explodes with life - typically on this weekend. There is probably no finer place to be than in Minnesota on Memorial Day Weekend.

But as we are roaring into high gear for a summer of endless adventure let's also pause to reflect on the true heart and soul of Memorial Day. My hope is for each of us to pay tribute to our nation's freedom and resolve by remembering those who have died in service to our great country.

This is Memorial Day Weekend - the 'unofficial' start of summer, a rite of passage for area graduates, it is a time for walleye fishing and sharing stories around camp fires and, most importantly, a time to remember.

Stay safe, live well, and always . . . remember.
