Memorial Day, the unofficial start to summer, celebrated with barbecues and cookouts. While that has become the American tradition, lets not forget the TRUE meaning of the somber day. To pay tribute to the brave men and women who lost their lives defending the country. It’s also important to remember the grief of those they left behind, because everyday is their Memorial Day.
So while you are out celebrating with family and friends, please take time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for you to enjoy such freedoms.
Gone, but NEVER forgotten 🇺🇸
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived.”
Well said, babys
Thanks mac, you know how I feel about it.
Well said baby, well said !!
Babyss,
As always, you have captured and given words to the reason we have this Holiday. It is a time to reflect, be thankful, and pay our respects. It isn't a time for fireworks, parties, and wishing someone "Happy" Memorial day. And the only drinking should be to raise a glass in remembrance to Brothers and Sisters who are no longer with us.
Spend a little time with friends and family, give them a hug and be thankful they are with you on this day. Some in this world would love to have the opportunity.
