I am so proud of my son! He was riding his new geared bike around town. We got passed (safely) on a road and the driver gave me a thumbs up. After the race was over we were heading back to the car and he climbed this hill where all the team cars and teams were hanging out and they were like wow and smiling and thumbs up! Made me so proud.

Finally, Honor Memorial Day! Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces. Charlie Dent
