I remember the first
time I saw Arlington Cemetery in person.
What an impressive sight. Rows
and rows of crosses indicating lives lost in defense of the freedoms we enjoy. Then there is the Vietnam Memorial, another
monument to valiant lives lost in defense of this great country. We often take our freedoms and liberties for
granted, we shouldn’t. Too many
countries in this world have no such freedom or liberty. Ours is not without its’ costs. Military families don’t take our freedom as
US citizens so lightly. They know all
too well the costs. It is a shame that we need monuments, crosses and holidays
to remember and pay tribute. Don’t let
the true meaning of Memorial Day go unnoticed.
If you need a tangible reminder google some pictures of Arlington
Cemetery or the Vietnam Memorial. They
are poignant reminders of our fallen heroes along with many sights in our
capital and all over this great land. We
really should not ever forget!
Have a blessed Memorial
Day holiday!
