Memorial Day
What is today all about? It’s not about having the day off. It’s not about the pool opening. It’s not about cooking out on the grill. All these things happen on Memorial Day, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about remembering the sacrifices made by brave young men and women to provide us the freedom we so often take for granted.
At a time when we have young men and women dyeing overseas in combat, it’s more import than ever for us to remember the sacrifices they and all those who have gone before them have made.
Don’t let the day be all about not going to work, cooking out, or going to the pool. Also, don’t make it about policy. It doesn’t matter what you think about the wars we’ve fought or are fighting. This day is about the people who made the supreme sacrifice. Let’s not desecrate their honor by making it about anything else. Just keep them in your thoughts an prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto them oh Lord. And may perpetual light shine on them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
