It should not be a surprise to anyone, that the number one thing on my list is to honor the fallen. After all, that is exactly what Memorial Day is for. If you think otherwise, well, "bless your heart".

Whether you want to go check out a lake, grill some meat, go to a park, or just catch up on some sleep, there are quite a few things to do in the Abilene area this Memorial Day weekend.

Again, make sure you take some time to honor those who have fallen and made the ultimate sacrifice so that we do have the freedom to do these great things.
