Happy Memorial Day! Yet another holiday we observe that has lost much of its meaning. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me what the meaning of it is..some were small children, but a disturbing amount were over the age of thirteen. Thinking of what those who fought for our country have had to deal with assimilating back to civilian life, I cannot fathom. Their outlook on life being tainted, seeing a world and people who see them solely as targets...having your world consist of bombs, ammunition, snipers atop buildings.....
Imagine that thought being your last. Rather than enjoying the day off work, or sitting down with some friends, enjoying food, cigars, alcohol, BBQ, and swimming pools. Take a moment away from your hamburger, to remember those who fought and died in the armed forces. Lets not allow this day to pass in vain.
