So what is Memorial Day?
It's a day off from work. It's a day off from school. Relax, chill.
It's the start of the summer season. Catch a big movie blockbuster. Hit the pool or hit the beach. Fire up the grill.
It's time to save BIG on a new car or truck. Huge savings on home furnishings. Or clothes. Or electronics. No better time to get that big flat screen TV.
We get so caught up in all the commercial hype of Memorial Day that we forget why the day is of such significance.
The best value we can get on Memorial Day is the one we enjoy everyday, our freedom. And we enjoy that freedom because the price of that most precious commodity was paid for by the selfless sacrifices made by so many men and women who served this country in our armed forces. And on Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who gave their lives, those who did not survive to return to the home they died to defend.
So go ahead and enjoy 1 or 2 or 10 hot dogs, have some fun in the sun, get a good deal at one of those awesome sales. It's part of the freedom that we enjoy here in America. But remember to spare a moment of thoughtful consideration for those who died in the service of their country and help secure our freedom.
Everyone, remember to be good to one another.
