179th Festival of Frugality – Memorial Day Edition

Photo (BL1961)

Yesterday was Memorial day here in the United States. It is a day of remembrance for all those dedicated Armed Services members who have died protecting the rights of the citizens of this great country. I hold members of our armed forces in the highest regard and I truly appreciate everything they are willing to risk for me and my country. So as you scroll through this weeks festival remember those fallen heroes who have made it possible for us to enjoy the life we lead today and never forget the sacrifices they have made.
