Also, if you are looking for a fun family activity ON Memorial Day the family friendly Campus Life/Youth for Christ 5k is at 7am (more info here) and the Murfreesboro Chick Fil A will also have fun activities from 3pm-5pm with proceeds benefiting A Soldier's Child (one of our favorite non profits!). I sure hope that everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend! Let's not forget the reason that we celebrate as we give thanks to the men and women who selflessly gave their lives for our freedom. Our freedom isn't free!
