Everything Finance Monthly Round Up – Thank You to Our Service Men and Women
Many people plan barbecues and picnics on Memorial Day weekend, but it is also important to remember the sacrifices our service men and women have made. Recently Vice President Biden gave a moving speech to families who had lost loved ones in the line of duty and recounted his own depths of grief after the loss of his wife and daughter in a car accident 40 years ago. For those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice and their loved ones that remain behind, it is important to make this Memorial Day more significant than just having a barbecue.
Around the web, I have been reading some excellent personal finance articles. Here are some of my favorites:
