Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day.

I hope everyone will be able to take the time to reflect on what it is we are memorializing.

Originally called Decoration Day, it is a day to honor those who have fallen in service of our nation. Now it is mostly a day to mark the 1st part of summer fun, camping and generally anything but our fallen. I fly a flag in front of my house, and I try every day to remind myself why it is there. There are soldiers who gave of themselves to this country from its earliest beginnings. This is a day, or weekend to remember, honor, and reconcile the sacrifices that have been made for our benefit.

So in all the running around you may do this weekend, take a few moments to honor those who have served, are serving, and the ones that will be serving us in the future.
