Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember all who fought and gave their lives for to Keep America free: From the day the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock to George Washington crossing the Delaware to attack the British fighting for our independence and all of the wars that followed.
To remember all the men and women who have served to keep America free and preserving our way of life: From the Alamo, to the Civil War, to World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.
To remember the foot soldier, the Marines the Air force the Navy, and the families who have lost a love one, all who are buried at Arlington Cemtery and all over the world.
On this Memorial Day, bow your head, put your right hand over your heart and when you hear the National Anthem and Taps is played, you will get goose pimples and maybe shed a tear. But for me, Memorial Day is every day. I give thanks for living in this great country that many people take for granted. Our freedoms are not free to those who have defended us and perished.
Let us thank God for all we have on this Memorial Day; pray for God to look over us. God Bless America.
