If you are like me and been hanging around for some time, you recall when this day was once called 'Decoration Day.' That handle eventually gave way to 'Memorial Day' but not much else has changed; we still take a moment to pause and remember those military men and women who gave an ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. We remember by shutting down and perhaps celebrating life and or decorating grave sites.
I often make that memorial remembrance trek twice each year as my wife and youngest daughter's husband and family travel to the metro-east (Illinois) area and pay homage to many family members who have departed this life. My wish for each whose eyes read these words that this day flood your mind and soul with precious memories of loved ones and friends who served in military commitments and also those loved ones who left our journey but gave you a template for living a glorious life.
May each of us feel compelled to pick up the baton and pay goodness forward.
(Touch)
Remember Them
