May 31st.

School is out (for most of us) and summer has begun.  Memorial Day is a day to celebrate, to party with friends, to get together and just hang out and take it easy.  But does anyone ever remember what Memorial Day is really about?

Memorial Day marks a rather large get together for my family.  We invite friends, have a barbeque, play some games, and enjoy life together.  We also remember the reason for the day, and the families who aren’t so lucky.

Today is a day where we remember and honour those who have fought and died for us.

Today is a day where we honour those who still live and fight for us.

Today is a day where we pray for the families of those who didn’t make it.

Today is a day where we pray for the families of those who can’t be with them today.

Today, my friends, is a day where we remember the sacrifices made in our name, and today is hopefully a day where we praise God for all the brave men and women of the armed forces, be they Military, Police, Firemen, Coast Guard, or Border Patrol.

Today is a day worth remembering - because those we celebrate and mourn for will never be forgotten.


I ask a favor of you today.  If you see anyone in uniform, thank them for all that they do.  These brave people are willing to fight and die for us - are you willing to acknowledge that?

Happy Memorial Day.

Well said, the sacrifices made to ensure this freedom that so many of us take for granted should never be forgotten.
