On behalf of the Bleeding Green Nation staff, we hope that you’re all having a pleasant Memorial Day weekend as we take time to remember the fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
It is because of these brave men and women that we are able to enjoy moments like the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl.
Speaking of that, a number of this year’s world champions expressed their gratitude via social media.
We remember. #MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/U5n8M2Pnc9

Freedom sometimes comes at a cost. Today, I just want to thank all of the brave men & women who have sacrificed so much to provide us w/ the freedoms we have in this country. Its often taken for granted and y’all don’t get the recognition you deserve. So thank you & God bless! pic.twitter.com/UhbemUxUUC
