The Daily Dose: The Memorial Day Edition

I sincerely hope that everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day away from school and work. However, I hope that you take the time to remember just why you're not working while waiting to eat some delicious barbecue. 

Memorial Day is about remembering those who have served this country. Take a few seconds and think about what they did for you—for us. If you know a veteran, thank them. It is literally the least you can do. 

Now about that barbecue ...

Anyway, enjoy yet another edition of The Daily Dose. 

Important Note

Trash service in St. Peters is being delayed a day because of the holiday. If you have Monday trash service, you'll now have Tuesday trash service. Tuesday trash moves to Wednesday. Normal service will resume next week.
