(S8) - PT 2 - Memorial Day

[Youchmeister71]

Memorial day is a special day to me. My dad was a member of the U.S Marines for 25 years, and I grew up through High School with him being deployed, and away from my mom and I. He always told me one thing when it came to days like Memorial and Veterans day. He told me to never treat the service men and women of our fine country as anything more than they are. Not to try and sound rude, but most of these people simply do a job that's different than you and me. We have a pretty special job as football players, but no one comes up to us thanking us for what we do. Simply respect those who have served, but don't make it sappy. As far as what I'll be doing, I'll be waking up early and going to the team facilities for light stretching and recovery before our first game of the season. After that, I'll go and maybe grab a bite to eat with some friends, then head back to the facilities to do my daily run. After that, I'll call my dad, see how he's doing, I'm sure he and my mom have a lot to ask me about my new life.
