Hi
Friend,
Each Memorial Day, we honor and show our
gratitude for service members who paid the ultimate price for the
freedoms that we enjoy each day. Traditionally, this means parades,
fireworks, picnics and other types of celebrations. This year, we will
be spending this long weekend in a different way, but we still pay
tribute to those military men and women who died—both before our times
and in more recent history.
If you
choose to commemorate the fallen protectors of our freedom with a
drink with your family, your close circle of friends—or even by
yourself—we want to remind you to drink responsibly. Be aware of your
consumption, eat a full meal beforehand, be sure to alternate
alcoholic beverages with water or other non-alcoholic drinks, and
never serve alcohol to people under the legal drinking age.
Chris
Swonger, our president and CEO, has these words to add as we enter
into the long weekend—observed differently than before—but with
continued gratitude for our military families.
Have a
safe, happy and responsible Memorial Day weekend!
-Your
friends at Responsibility.org
