Mark Zinno: Who Would Have Thought At Memorial Day Weekend...

Who would have thought that with summer right upon us that the Orioles would be in first place in the American League East and own the best record in the American League. The Ravens are without Ray Rice because of a contract and Terrell Suggs because of injury. And the colt, I'll Have Another, is just one mile-and-a-half race victory away from being the first Triple Crown winner since 1978! Who would have thought it?

I hope that everyone takes some time this weekend between the hot dogs and beer, and the beach and sun to remember why this holiday exists and what makes it important. If you get a chance this weekend, thank a veteran or current service member. I can't tell you how much support I have received for my service and I can't tell you how much it has meant to me. I do know we all appreciate the hand-shakes and thank you's and the acknowledgement that we have chosen a profession of service. As well, please remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in making America the wonderful place it is today!

God Bless America! And have a safe and happy Memorial Day!
