Warning.

You're about to enter the arena and join the battle to save America.

With your host, John Parnell.

Hey everybody, welcome to Battle Ground Live.

It is Monday, and this is a special Memorial Day edition of Battle Ground Live, and I'm so so glad.

I know it's a holiday.

I really do, and you all are probably doing barbecues and picnics and spending time with your families.

Or maybe you're just spending a day and reflection and thinking about those who have given

their last full measure for this exceptional country that we call home.

Either way, I just wanted to thank you for being here with me today.

It means a lot.

You know, I'm doing a Memorial Day show because I just believe it's so important to talk about Memorial Day and to honor the sacrifice of those that we lost and if we don't talk if we don't talk about it

if we don't take our thoughts and put them into words about what it means to live in a free country and

what it means to live in America and the true cost of freedom, then those legacies will be lost.

And so I will always do a Memorial Day ceremony

for if for no other reason it's to keep the legacy

of my troops alive.

And so let me do a quick weekend update because even though it's

Memorial Day I like to do a weekend update for you on on Mondays and so my family

we celebrated celebrated but we spent time together and sort of celebrated the Memorial Day holiday

yesterday.

Everyone comes over to Fort Parnell. We do what we do best. We eat and we talk.
