The unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day is hot dogs, American flags, BBQ, baseball, sunshine and so much more to many people around the country

While you enjoy your much needed day off this Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect on the men and women that risked and have paid the ultimate price to serve America.

In kind, our local sports teams and athletes have taken to their social media platforms to pay their respects:
