Memorial Day is a day that we set aside to honor those veterans who have fought and died in service of their country, those who have fought and lived to return home, and those that are currently fighting. The ceremonies and parades and tributes we hastily take part in on this day before we hurry off to our barbeques will not mean much unless we live our lives in a fashion that will give meaning to their deaths and sacrifices. So, before we kick-off our summer season of fun in the sun, let's all take time to contemplate what these brave men and women have provided for us, and at what cost. And then let us determine to live a life that will honor their actions much more than any solemn ceremony or patriotic parade ever could.
