Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It’s a holiday to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the armed forces. The observance has been in place since the 1800’s.
While we’re enjoying the long weekend and hopefully some excellent weather, let’s not forget the reason the holiday exists.

My dad served in the Navy, I’ll never fully understand the kinds of sacrifices he had to make to do it. Well written. Thanks.
