Metromode is off for Memorial Day

Backyard BBQ, family time, another chance to see The Avengers, and a day off from school/work is all welcome …but it’d be good to take a moment to honor those who gave their lives in defense of our country.

In tribute, Concentrate offers up some  Memorial Day quotes to share with loved ones and honor those who have gone before us.
