Happy Memorial Day!  Especially to the families of all of those who've paid the ultimate price to make America the greatest country on earth.

Memorial Day's roots go all the way back to just after the Civil War when it was suggested that not only should we praise the living veterans of the Civil War, it would be well to remember the patriotic dead by placing flowers on their graves.

Since that time, we've spent Memorial Day each year remembering those who have paid the ultimate price for America.

With that in mind, Kiss Country would like to say "Thank You" to the servicemen and women of our country who make huge sacrifices everyday.

Sometimes, the sacrifice they make is of their own life.  So, its with our deepest gratitude that we thank the family and friends left behind by those so willing to die for our freedom.

Of course death isn't the only sacrifice made by our military.  They also sacrifice their time away from their families and some of life's biggest moments with them.

To mark this Memorial Day and show appreciation, here are some incredibly touching videos of soldiers surprising their families by coming home.
