Memorial Day || A Day of Remembering

Have you ever walked through a National Cemetery? There are thousands upon thousands of white headstones. Headstones that represent the lives lost protecting this great nation. And it IS great.

We may be gathering together with friends and loved ones kicking off the summer season around a BBQ. But let this day and the reason we gather not be lost. Let our gatherings remember those who fought and protected the ground we freely stand on.

I am proud to be an American. Proud of each person who gave their life so that I could be free.

To the family members who grieve on this day. May God comfort you and give you peace. Thank you for the sacrifices you made as well.
