Monday Musings

Today,  Memorial Day , we honor those who have died serving this country in the US military. Typical remembrances include parades. And visiting cemeteries to mourn loved ones. Unfortunately, many people have forgotten or chosen to ignore the intent of Memorial Day and consider the date one more long weekend off work and an opportunity to picnic and party. Please don’t wish others a “Happy Memorial Day.” The day has a solemn intent: to remember and honor. Do you have a family member or friend who gave all? Do you plan a unique way to honor them?

  Today, Memorial Day, we commemorate those who died in the line of duty, protecting our freedom. Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. ~ Unknown The patriot’s blood is the seed of freedom’s tree. ~ Thomas Campbell You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once. ~ Robert A Heinlein Today we honor those who have paid the ultimate price. You can follow the Author on her  Website  or on  Twitter .
