Today Is Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day.

A day of remembrance, a day to pause, and a day to say thank you — not for service, but for sacrifice.

So while you enjoy your day off and that first cookout of the summer, please remember that today, Memorial Day, is the day we honor all those who didn’t come home. This is the cost of freedom. This is why we stop, reflect, and acknowledge the men and women who gave their lives wearing the uniform of the United States.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row

To the fallen, and to the families who carry their memory, I say: Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice. You are the reason we are free today.

Cinco de Mayo: A Little Spark of History

Posted on May 5, 2026May 5, 2026 by Dusty Roads

A symbol of unity, pride, and the triumph of the underdog

Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, when Mexican forces pulled off an underdog victory against the French in 1862. It’s a day that’s grown into a celebration of Mexican culture, pride, and heritage — especially here in the U.S.

A small win that became a big tradition.
