Before getting your day started — hopefully with sun, surf, cocktails and relaxation — you’ll take a few moments to remember what this day is all about: immense gratitude for the brave men and women who have given their life for our country, and our freedom.

On a more serious note, what’s happened in Oklahoma this past week has been incomprehensible on so many levels. We kind of get here dealing with hurricanes, but the speed and ferociousness it attacked, and took so many little lives with it is beyond words. This video, if you haven’t seen it, is at least one sweet moment.
