Memorial Day is an American holiday. We take time to remember those who said, yes when asked to #serve in the military. That three-letter word changed the trajectory of their lives. Their commitment to protecting our country from enemies foreign and domestic started a clock ticking. They just didn’t know how much time was on the clock.
Our #service men and women said yes when others said no or didn’t bother to even consider the option. Those who signed up or went when drafted, served above the politics and rhetoric around the military.
Today we #honor those who went and didn’t come home. Those whose last goodbye to a loved one, was their last embrace with that person. Today we pray for the person they left behind whose heart still aches.
Yes, we all love to have three-day weekends. This one is at the expense of many. The least we can do before the first grill is fired up, or the plunge into the pool, is to stop, remember, and pray.
All the best,
KK
