| IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY |
"I would personally like to thank all of you who have been brave enough to put their life on the line so that my family and I can live a free life. Thank you so much, may you all RIP and know how much we thank and respect you. God Bless!"
Memorial Day used to be a solemn day of mourning, a sacred day of
remembrance to honor those who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.
Businesses closed for the day. Towns held parades honoring the fallen,
the parade routes often times ending at a local cemetery, where Memorial
Day speeches were given and prayers offered up. People took the time
that day to clean and decorate with flowers and flags the graves of
those the fell in service to their country.
Please as you enjoy your day off and your family and friends make sure you teach your kids what the meaning and day are really for. Most kids today think the day is for BBQ & pic-nicks which is always nice and fun, but make sure they learn of the sacrifice that has been made for them to be free to have such a fun day. ;)
