Today is Memorial Day.
Going out for a picnic or a barbecue?
Have a day off from work?
It's doesn't mean anything like that to me. To me it means the sacrifices made by my brothers and sisters who've died so that we may live free.
I'm remembering a quote from a WWII veteran... When asked by his grandson id he was a hero, he replied: "No, I'm no hero, but I served with a whole company of them."
What is Memorial Day to you?
Freedom isn't Free.
Lest We Forget
