Memorial Day Remembrances Held Across the NationToday, Memorial Day, Americans will honor the sacrifices of military men and women who paid the ultimate price in their service to our nation. More than one million American men and women have died in military service during wartime, including more than 655,000 battle deaths. Observances this Monday, May 30th, will range from parades to memorial ceremonies and organized moments of silence. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend organized activities at national cemeteries.

Shinseki. “We owe them eternal gratitude and we must pass those sentiments on to future generations.” Sec. Shinseki will deliver the keynote address at a Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Richardson (AK) National Cemetery.

Observing Memorial Day — What You Can Do“…gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime….let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation’s gratitude — the soldier’s and sailor’s widow and orphan.” 
From USMemorialday.org: The “Memorial” in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice. You can best honor those who died in the service of their country by… – visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes. – visiting memorial sites or attending memorial events. – flying the U.S. flag at half-staff until noon (and by flying the ‘POW/MIA Flag’ as well). – participating in a “National Moment of Remembrance” at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day. - renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our fallen dead, and to aid the disabled veterans.

Cabela's Kicks Off Memorial Day Sale
Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200 Rangefinder
You probably already know that Leica’s CRF 1200 is a top-of-the-line laser rangefinder, rivaled only by the $999.00 Swarovski LaserGuide and, maybe, by the new $699.00 Zeiss Victory PRF. Among these three units, the Leica is the most compact by far. And, now, it is the least expensive. NOTE: You can also buy the Leica CRF 1200 from Amazon.com for $599.00 with FREE Shipping by clicking the special link below: $599.00 Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200-Y Laser Rangefinder (Yards Version) Cabela’s Covered Loading Tray
When we first saw this product we thought: “Great idea… it’s amazing nobody else has offered a covered loading tray before”. Being able to cover your loading tray makes sense. With the cover in place, you can’t inadvertantly drop something into the tray, or knock over cases filled with powder. You can also keep loaded rounds protected from the elements before they’re packed into ammo carriers. Buck Knives Transport™ Key Chain Knife We really like this little knife. Folded it is tiny, and weighs just 1 ounce! The 1.25″ blade is long enough to handle most typical cutting chores (opening box-tops, cutting tape, trimming cords). It even comes with a bottle opener and a sturdy lanyard attachment.
