Memorial Day conjures many images: family, friends, fun, and food. But what else?
On “Memorial” Day…what are we actually remembering?
The easy answer is to say “those that have who fought for our country.” Do re recognize their hardship? Realize the hardships of those across the globe we call “enemy” or “ally?” What do they remember?
It’s hard to recognize, appreciate, and have compassion for the men and women who have struggled, overcame and defended this country we call home. But without taking at least a few moments to comprehend the sheer courage and sacrifice of our soldiers and their loved ones, we cannot see what an incredible effort and movement it has been to keep America…free.
There is still work to do. From human rights to economic policy, many issues are only beginning to become part of open dialogue. But it’s the warrior-like effort of our soldiers and citizens that keeps America continuously innovating. Continuously dreaming.
Continuously free.
We hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend with your loved ones. And, we also invite you to take a moment to reflect on how awesome our home is, all that has taken to make it what it is, and all it will take to keep going.
USA! ! ! 🙂
