For many people, this weekend is about getting together to have a cookout, or going to the beach for the unofficial start of summer.
However, let's take a moment here to think why we have this holiday. Memorial Day is just not to have a cookout or to have fun. Sure, we can do that but we are able to do that because of the men and women who gave their lives to protect this country. If it was not for the men and women who gave their lives to protect our freedom and our country, where would we be today?
So let's take time this holiday weekend to remember those who have died protecting our freedom. If you happen to see somebody that is in the miltary, why not take a sec and shake their hand and say THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM!
