Clemson and Memorial Day: Freedom Isn't Free

CLEMSON – Not a rain cloud was in sight late Friday afternoon, an early summer heat wave gripping the Clemson campus in a furnace grip. It was one of those days where you’re better off inside instead of outside.

I was out and about with my two sons – my oldest son Koty and my 8-month old Eli. The three of us were letting Nikki get some rest, so I had the boys out rambling around the Clemson campus. I wanted to show Koty – and Eli – Clemson’s Scroll of Honor and continue to drill into Koty’s head the reason we have a Memorial Day.
