Today is Memorial Day 2009!
Today is a day of complete remembrance and celebration!
Remembrance of those young and old men and women in uniform that made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may live the peaceful lives that we live. It is so important that we remember these men and women because if we do not remember what they did in the past, then we will be doomed to subject ourselves to the mistakes of the past. Also, simply because they made that sacrifice for millions of people who they never met is a good enough reason to remember their call and service to our great nation.
It is also a time to celebrate! We celebrate these men and women’s lives! We celebrate what they did and did not do while they were among us. We celebrate their families and the sacrifice they made by letting their family members answer that call to service.
So, today! Pray for those who have passed. Also, pray for their families as they cope. But do not forget those who are in uniform today–those who are on the battlefield right now– and those who have returned from battle–our veterans!
Happy Memorial Day Everyone!
