by: In his weekly address, President Obama pays tribute on the Memorial Day weekend to America's veterans, servicemen, servicewomen and their families.
"This Memorial Day weekend, Americans will gather on lawns and porches, fire up the grill, and enjoy the company of family, friends and neighbors," he said. "But this is not only a time for celebration. It is also a time to reflect on what this holiday is all about; to pay tribute to our fallen heroes; and to remember the servicemen and women who cannot be with us this year because they are standing post far from home -- in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world."
