Today grills will be fired up all across Nelson and the rest of the country. Lots of folks are off today for a holiday. Lots of folks aren’t either. They are the people in our armed forces that continue the battle day in and day out regardless of the holiday. While we all celebrate a day of rest and fun with our friends, please remember why we actually have Memorial Day. You can read lots more interesting history on Memorial Day here as well.
Whether you agree or not with the battles our military is called into, remember the people fighting the battle. It’s not their decision regardless. They won’t be at the barbecue, they won’t be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. At least not with their families here at home. And thousands and thousands more will never come home, they left a long time ago for our country. Never to return in person.
So while we grill and have that cold beer, or ice cold lemonade, watch our kids play in the yard, or whatever you may be doing today. At least pause, if only for a second, and remember the people who have, and continue to make it possible for us to do whatever we feel like doing today.

Devils Backbone Challenge 2009 is in the history books and the first event is a total success! The parking lot of Devils Backbone Brewing Company was packed Saturday morning as bikers from all over the region participated in the inaugural event at the Nelson County microbrewery. Nelson County Life Magazine was a co-sponsor of this year’s event.
Our Paul Purpura, with his very big new lens in tow, was out to grab all of the shots both on the pavement and cross country!
The race was part of the larger Virginia Off Road Series.
