We had a rough weekend.
So we didn’t participate in any fun Memorial Day activities. No cookouts, no picnics, no games.
But that’s okay.
That’s not what Memorial Day is about, anyway.
Memorial Day is about remembering.
Remembering the sacrifices made by our military men and women.
Remembering what they did – and continue to do – for us to ensure our freedoms.
I can do that without a cookout. Can’t you?
I hope you all have a wonderfully fun Memorial Day, and take a moment to think of (and thank) our U.S. Military.
If you’re so inclined, you might read what I wrote last year on Memorial Day. Here’s a small sample:
My family did not fight in wars and serve in peacetime to allow a corporation to dictate to us what we will eat. They did not do what they did so we would live in a world where we are considered too idiotic to make an informed choice for ourselves. The servicemen of our country did not sacrifice in their many ways so we could find ourselves, once again, the subjects of a cruel and careless ruler.
