Not just a day off. Not just hamburgers, hot dogs and picnics. It is so much more
It’s Memorial Day. Thank You to every solider that has served this country and to all those that continue the work today. It is a day to salute and thank each and every one of you. Started as a day that was to commemorate the Civil War, over time it grew into a national holiday and now covers all those that have served in the armed forces.
With out the intent to single anyone out it is worth pointing out a number of articles worth reading out there:
- A Look at Women in the Military
- Family Heroes
- Remembering PFC Lewis R. G. Dorsey, Memorial Day 2009
- My Partner, Joe Crumley’s D-Day Tribute.
- Honor Our Service Men and Women on Memorial Day (2013), Brett Emison May 27, 2013

I know that there are many more. I may spend some of the day finding them. Hopefully, everyone will take a little time to read one or two and reflect on the sacrifices that have been made to protect us.
THANK YOU!!
