It's that time of the year again. Grills start to fire up, publics pools begin to open, and the start of summer is officially right around the corner. Most of America gets the day off tomorrow to conclude a much needed three day weekend. While all of that is great and always welcomed, let us not forget the reason we get to enjoy these amenities.
Tomorrow marks the annual American holiday of Memorial Day. A day when the people of this great country should take time from their hectic schedules to remember all the brave men and women who unselfishly gave their lives, allowing us to enjoy the freedom and security we do today. Without the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice there is no doubt this country would not be in the place it is today. While you may argue that America is not at its finest point in history right now, that argument is best reserved for the political arena and a day that is not Memorial Day.
So come tomorrow if you have an American flag be sure to fly it at half-staff from dawn till noon, as is tradition. Also remember that a national moment of remembrance will take place at 3:00 p.m., and if you would like to do more visit a national cemetery if you live nearby and maybe plant some mini flags. Do whatever pleases you, it's your day off but just remember the reason why you have this day off to do whatever you please.
God bless America and those who have served and presently serve the land of the free and the home of the brave.
