Today is not National BBQ day nor nation (fill in the blank) Sale Day, it is Memorial Day. Thanks to all you willingly walked into harms way and paid the ultimate price for serving your country and allowing us to enjoy today and every other.
Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it. Pete Hegseth
137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America’s most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed – it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy. Doc Hastings
On Memorial Day, I don’t want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live. Eric Burdon
Over all our happy country – over all our Nation spread, Is a band of noble heroes – is our Army of the Dead. Will Carleton

All gave some…Some gave all; yet we should not mourn their deaths, rather we shall honor their lives. paraphrasing Gen George Patton
