Everyone at the Weekly View wishes our wonderful readers and advertisers a happy Memorial Day weekend. Before you fire up the grill and listen to the race on the radio, please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces, and our local first responders, and didn’t make it home. Our freedom to worship, speak, assemble, vote and live as we choose is possible because of their sacrifices.
