For regular readers of my messages you will recognize this message from past years. I am repeating it for two reasons. One, it is a great message and two, I am a bit lazy this week. So, enjoy!

As we celebrate Memorial Day 2018 let us not forget those who fought and died for us and those who continue to fight for us. To protect our freedom.

You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it!! – John Adams

This week will be a short message. Please remember and honor those who fought and continue the fight for our ability to seek the American dream. Every one of us has the ability to seek the American dream, however it involves sacrifice. There are no short cuts to prosperity.

The free markets are part of the reason our veterans fought. It does not involve speculation but rather prudent investing. The American dream is not a get rich scheme. It requires sacrifice, hard work and planning.

As John Adams said above “I hope you make good use of it!!”

Honor our veterans, past and present, by making good use of it.
