Memorial Day was established as a day to remember those who served and died to give us our freedom and protect our country and rights. As families and friends around the US gather this weekend for picnics, parties, a day on the boat, a day at the beach or a good old fashioned BBQ, let us not for get all we have and what the true cost of freedom is.
Memorial day is no longer a day to remember those who served in the military, and lost there lives doing so, it has also become a day to remember all who have passed. So take a moment this weekend to remember all of the children who have lost their lives in war and conflict.
Remind your children the importance of memorial day and all it stands for. Take time out this weekend to truely enjoy the children in your lives, let them know how much they have to offer, the future is theirs.
