Every year there seems to be confusion about just what this holiday is all about.
Many businesses close, a number of people get the day off of work. We have picnics, parties, fireworks. Get drunk, open the pool. Light up the grill. For many it's the official start of summer.
Memorial Day is in honor of all of our troops that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. All of the sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, and wives that didn't come home to their loved ones.
I can't imagine the pain of that loss.
So while you enjoy summer and possibly your time off today, take a moment to celebrate what the day is really about. The men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.
