As time passes, I have come to appreciate the real significance of our holidays.
This weekend being Memorial Day here in the U.S. it is more than just a three day weekend. It is a time to honor those who gave their lives defending our country or our allies.
I have many family members who served in our military, almost all U.S. Marines, serving in WWII, the Korean War and Afghanistan, respectfully. I am very thankful they returned home however I know too many of their friends did not. To those lost and to their families I say thank you!
Happy Memorial Day! The official start of the summer season!
Now, go and enjoy a wonderful three day weekend in their honor!
Happy Hunting! ~Jen
Happy Memorial Day, Jen. We don't have this weekend in Canada but had a long weekend last week in honour of Queen Victoria. I think a whole weekend honouring the armed services is a terrific idea. We seem to roll it into Rememberance Day on November 11th.
