Memorial Day is a little way away, but here before you know it. So what are your plans going to be for the weekend?
JStew: Our Memorial weekend is pretty typical. We stop by the family grave site in Brewer to put flowers out. Especially for my uncle, who served in the Korean War. It s also the first weekend that camp is all opened up and ready to go. The water s on by then, it s all clean, and it s ready for all the summer s festivities. So for my family, Memorial weekend is definitely the official start of summer. But of course, thanks to all our service members who gave all in the effort to protect our country. There aren t many things as important as that.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Typically every Tuesday before The Players Championship begins is Military Appreciation Day. But because of COVID-19, on-site activities have changed.
To help continue its financial support of military organizations this year, The Players is hosting the Match4Military fundraising campaign Tuesday. One charity that will benefit is The Fire Watch, which was created after a friend stepped in and kept a veteran from taking his own life.
They were U.S. Army veteran Maj. Chris Dempsey’s darkest hours. He was homeless and alone in the woods with 35 cents in his bank account.
