I had to post another non-paintball related post for Memorial Day. Coming from a military family, being a “former” Marine and having a sister and brother-in-law currently serving in the Army (not to mention countless friends in the different services) Memorial Day, for me, is not just about being the day that the pool opens, or having a day off of work to BBQ and spend time with friends.
I hope everyone can take a minute from splashing around in the pool, grilling hot dogs outside, or licking drippy ice-cream cones to think about the reason for the day. 3pm on Memorial Day has been designated as a moment (and just a moment – 1 minute total) of remembrance to honor all those that have died for our freedom.

I want to thank all those that have served, and are currently serving in the military, including:
Army: my dad, my sister, my brother-in-law
Marine Corps: Amy, Pat, Chris
Navy: Tony, Todd, Dave, Bryan
Air Force: my grandfather, Matt, Mary
…and so many more! Thank you!
Semper Fi,
-Jen

Was just randomly browsing and came across you site. Love paintball, haven’t played in years. I’m the son of a Marine and a Navy Vet myself. This was a good post, and I love the picture. Hope you don’t mind, but I saved it to my computer. God Bless, and happy paintballing!
