Ah, Memorial Day. The traditional start of summer. A day associated with
BBQ, picnics, and sales. There is nothing wrong with enjoying those things, but
as you do please remember the reason behind the day. Please take a moment to
remember those men and women who gave their lives in service of their country.
Regardless of our political beliefs, the one thing that we can all agree on is
the respect due to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and
the families that they left behind.
Although it isn't part of the traditional
observance of Memorial Day, I also choose to use this day to remember those who
service to their country left them with wounds (physical, mental, and
emotional) that will impact them for the rest of their lives. To all of those
who never made it home, and to those whose lives will never be the same, I send
a humble and deeply felt “Thank you”.
Never Forget
