Memorial Day
Well here we are at the end of the fifth month of 2012 already. Almost halfway through the year! The older I get, the faster the months seem to fly by.
As we approach the last Monday of May, I join you in remembering the men of women of your family and friends who gave their lives while serving in the United States Military. My Grandparents used to refer to the day as “Decoration Day,” a day when families in our working class Pittsburgh neighborhood would plant flags and fresh flowers on the gravesites of fallen heroes.
We know it now as “Memorial Day.”
Once again, I join you in saluting those who paid so dearly for our freedoms.
