Today is Memorial Day here in the United States.
Memorial Day is a day where we acknowledge those who have paid the ultimate price for us.
Honoring our dead is not an affirmation of war, rather, it’s providing respect for those who never came back to their families and friends.
It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.
Today is also the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial.
In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, family gatherings and sporting events.
Some Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.
So whether you are remembering the men and women of military service or having a nice family picnic gathering, I hope your day is a good one.
