Today we celebrate all those who are and have served in our Armed Forces.  As you relax, kick-back and barbecue it's important to remember all the scrafices that our Miltary Men, Women and their famillies take on a daily basis, so that we can enjoy our own freedoms and civil libirties.

President Obama has had a busy Memorial Day Weekend. Today he took part in a wreath-laying ceremony in Arlington Virginia at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery

Then on Saturday he visited Joplin, which was devastated by an E5 Tornado that nearly destroyed the entire town.  He was deemed "Comforter in Chief":
