Remember when you're grilling out in the backyard or relaxing at the pool today what Memorial Day is all about. Freedom is not free. It was paid for in the lives of others who fought for our right to enjoy it.

This photo is dedicated to those who paid for our freedom and to our active service members. Like these Coast Guardsmen on RB-M (Response Boat Medium) 45743 who escorted our cruise ship on the way out of Charleston Harbor last week. If anybody has a friend on RB-M 45743 who might like a copy of this photo, ask them to reach out to me!

This photograph was captured with a Sony NEX-7 and edited in Adobe Lightroom.
