Memorial Day...

Let's not forget what this day is REALLY about. It's not just a day where people fire up the BBQ and drink beer and hang out on what otherwise would have been a Monday at work or school. It isn't a day where we celebrate the fact that we get a long weekend. This is a day when we should take the time to acknowledge the fact that we are able to fire up the BBQ and drink beer and hang out because we have the freedom to do so because of the men and women who fought and fell to ensure that we can. Whether it was overseas far away from US soil or right within our borders, please make sure that you take the time out to thank our military forces. Let's take the time to remember all who have given everything to make sure that we have our freedoms, our lives, our way of life. This Memorial Day, let's also take the time out to remember those families whose lives ARE different because they've lost someone. This day, along with all those bible based holidays and a few others have lost their true meaning and I think it's high time we take them back and remind people what they REALLY are.
