Memorial Day

Many people consider Memorial day the start of summer, or at least the summer season. However, Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Observance of Memorial day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. I would ask that sometime in the midst of the barbecues, beach trip or other plans you may have, you take a brief moment to remember those who gave everything in service.
