It is so important to remember the meaning behind holidays, especially one so meaningful as Memorial Day. I love being American and the pride that our country has, but it's important to remember that we only are given that luxury because of the people who laid down their lives for us.
Living 15 miles from a military base has made me much more aware of things going on in the world and what a different life people in the military have. I never had to worry about my parents coming home from work at night, but that wasn't the case for some of my friends. Thank you to everyone who served, is serving, and paid the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom.
God Bless America.
amen! what base do you live near?
