Memorial Day -- how many of us stop and think, just why we are sitting down with our friends and family and enjoying a day free from work?
For many years, I didn't. It was the day the pool opened, then a day off work with pay, then a day to unwind...
Now, however, I've become more concious of what the costs are to this country. I've experienced "losses" through my soldier, and though I've not met the men and women who've lost their lives, I've mourned their passing. I've experienced the "cost" first hand, and I am proud of those who serve, proud of what has been given for this great country.
Today is a time of relaxation...
