It is Memorial Day holiday here in the states.
Memorial Day is a day when we acknowledge those who have paid the ultimate price for us. Honoring the fallen soldier is not an affirmation of war, rather, it’s providing respect for those who never came back to their families and friends.
It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.
Some Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.
Many take to the roads or trips this weekend as their kick off to summer. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend.
I also wish and hope that everyone during this one day. Even if you did not go to an Memorial Day ceremonies or events, you found a few moments to stop and think of those who gave the ultimate (still to this very day) sacrifice and honored their memory.
Happy Memorial Day.
