Honoring Our Heroes: The True Meaning of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is more than just a time for relaxation, barbecues, or beach trips. It’s a solemn day of remembrance, honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. This day is a collective tribute to the courageous souls who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms.

As we welcome Monday, let's come together to pay unwavering respect to those who never returned. This devotion should be a part of our daily lives, reminding us of the immense cost of our freedom borne by these heroes.

This Memorial Day, take a moment to pause and reflect on the true meaning of the holiday. Honor the legacy of those who served and sacrificed everything. Remember, freedom isn’t free.

“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt

Debe I flew back yesterday from visiting my youngest son who lives just south of Washington DC. On our way to the airport we went by Arlington Cemetery, it was a very sobering moment, especially on Memorial Day.
