David Archuleta’s Memorial Day Message

David Archuleta updated his Twitter followers (@DavidArchie) to reflect on today’s Memorial Day holiday. The ‘American Idol’ season seven runner-up writes:

On this memorial day it’s so important to remember all of the brave men and women who gave their lives because they believed in life, liberty, and all the amazing freedoms we all have in this great country that we live in today. I hope we can all pause a bit from our activities to remember them and give thanks to each soldier who has fought, and to those who are out there today… As well as their families who’ve sacrificed so much for each of us. Let’s Keep them and their families in our prayers! We owe them so much. Happy Memorial Day guys! Hope you enjoy whatever things you have going on with friends and family!
