It seems that every Memorial Day I read several posts and
get multiple emails reminding me that Memorial Day isn’t about hot dogs and
beer, it is a day to remember the men and women that have given their all for
our country.
It is almost sad that a holiday of remembrance has become a
weekend party.
BUT! Those of us that want to remember will. The people that
have lost or know someone who has lost a son or daughter serving our nation
will remember. The BRAVE men and women who have stood shoulder to shoulder with
the fallen will remember.
Is this good enough? YES. These men and women didn’t do it
to stop Americans from having their fun. They did it to allow Americans to have
their fun.
If I see a service man or woman this weekend (or any other
time) I will thank them for their service. If I see a veteran this weekend, I
will thank them for their service. I will do this not just for me, but for all
the other Americans having fun this weekend as well.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, and GOD BLESS EVERY AMERICAN.
