Another glorious Memorial Day has come around. To remind us of the significance of honoring our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
And so we pause to give thanks for the life we have in this country we call home– many of us not born here but who have adopted this country as our motherland, and have worked to become contributing members of society.
So, today we rejoice to commemorate this thoughtful holiday– Memorial Day. And as in years past, we also celebrate yet another rite of passage– the turning of the seasons, and at this time, the ushering in of summertime barbeques that celebrate the love and laughter of bringing family and friends together.
So, if you are an American, or happen to live in these great United States, may you recognize the import of this holiday, and may you enjoy the commencement of summertime joys!
