This Weekend Is Not About The Mattress Sales...

Nor is it about the Indy 500.

To all who currently serve, our thanks and appreciation.


To all who have served, our appreciation and respect.


To all who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms, God Bless You.


In Flanders Fields


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)
