It seems like the traditional and historical holidays we observe here in the U.S. are all becoming less about the purpose that they were established for and more so just another reason to spend money and to pour up a drink.

I encourage you to start by asking yourself, “What does MEMORIAL mean?” Remember, may pop up in your head, that’s what appears in mine. Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while fighting for our nation. Although we commonly include current members of the Armed Forces and veterans, this day is not truly for them. They are honored on Armed Forces Day and Veteran’s Day respectively. All are important and should be honored.
