The last weekend in May always seems like a celebration of the true beginning of summer. In Indianapolis, it has special meaning, because the Indy 500 emphasizes the huge sacrifices of so many who have courageously given their “last measure of devotion” to allow all of us to enjoy the freedoms of our great country. If you get a chance, try to take thirty minutes to watch the pre-race festivities and the start of the race. Listen to the single bugle bellowing “Taps” throughout the throng of more than 300,000 people, and take a moment to thank those who have sacrificed themselves for the rest of us. My kids and I, and our guests, will be about twenty feet from the famed “Yard of Bricks” enjoying it all.
