Today is Memorial Day. A day to remember those who fought to defend our freedoms and those around the world. Sometimes I think the holiday and it's original purpose gets lost in all the grilling and camping.
I want to thank all that have made the sacrifice, many with their lives to make our world a freer and safer place. Many younger people don't remember wars and strife in our country. My grandfather escaped Nazi Poland and came to America to be safe and free. People died so that he could do that. My grandparents grew up in a time when even the next meal wasn't guaranteed. Today many people can have everything. The basic struggle to stay alive is no longer a concern for most people.
So today on Memorial Day be sure you remember the real reason for the holiday, and be thankful that those brave people died defending our basic liberties, and that they continue to do so throughout the world so you don't need to worry about it. Remember our fallen soldiers, those that made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives, so we can go out grilling and camping, and not worry.
