"Some people wait their whole lives to meet their hero, mine raised me."
"We stand for the flag, kneel for the fallen."
"Stand for the flag, kneel for the cross."
These are just a few of the t-shirts you might see floating around the internet this Memorial Day but what do they all mean? It's simple really. Memorial Day is a day to remember those who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can be free.
Yes it's a day that the kids are out of school, people don't have to work and the stores have sales because it's a holiday; arguably it's one of the most important holidays that our country celebrates each year.
The men and women who laid down their lives in war deserve our thanks, our remembrance and our undying gratitude. If you know someone who lost a loved one in service to our country, thank them this Memorial Day because without them, we would not be free.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day everyone, and remember the fallen. Never forget. Freedom isn't free.
