The Day of Remembrance

Memorial day weekend....

Most people recognize it as the "kick off to summer"

Many people recognize it as a "Monday Off"

Many people recognize it as an excuse to "BBQ on a monday."

Lets try to recognize memorial day for what it truly means...

Memorial day is to reflect on those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to this GREAT county. The best way (in my opinion) to celebrate memorial day is to...

A) Pray for those fighting the good fight.

B) Stick a flag in the ground at the site of a lost soldier/friend/family member.

C) Reflect, on your god given rights in this land and who faught for them.

D) Laugh, Live, Love, Drink, Eat, Be Merry.

This is one of my FAVORITE holidays....this day means so much to me....REFLECT!!!

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service, originally “Celebrated” on May 30th , it has now become ....(see above).. "But what may be needed to return the solemn, and even sacred, spirit back to Memorial Day is for a return to its traditional day of observance. Many feel that when Congress made the day into a three-day weekend in with the National Holiday Act of 1971, it made it all the easier for people to be distracted from the spirit and meaning of the day. As the VFW stated in its 2002 Memorial Day address: "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day." http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html
