MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day to me is not just a holiday for pleasure and a day off of work. This day to me, is to remember loved ones who have passed on to a greater and better place of being. It is to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for a country such as ours to be free and we could live in peace. I think that we should remember to honor those men/women who have fallen to keep this country of ours, free, and so that we can live in harmony with the rest of the world. My deepest sympathy goes out to the mothers & fathers & all loved ones of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.We should all be thankfull and remember those who have fought on foreign or even our own soil to keep our way of life that we all enjoy. We should remember all of our forefathers who gave us this great country and made the rules to keep it this way. So Memorial Day to me is just to sit back and take a moment in our life to remember all of the great souls, whether living or deceased and honor them, and to take a moment to share some of the pain of all loved ones across America who have lost a loved one to such a tragedy.
But not only to those who have lost their lives to keep us free, but to all of those who have passed on, and also those who have fought and are still here with all of the pains of war.
I feel that the American people are so involved in working and trying to make ends meet that we have lost touch with such things. We do not always think to give remembrance to the real reason for the holiday weather it is Memorial Day, Independence Day, Christmas , or what ever. We are all so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forgot what is really important. So before you go out and spend your day doing what ever it is that you may do on a holiday, first that you should give remembrance to what this holiday is really about. Give a little thought and reverence to what this day was meant for. Then go out and enjoy what these people have preserved for us for the rest of your day. This comes from my heart.
So I feel that everyone in this fast paced world should remember to just take a few minutes out of their busy schedule and pay some respect to those who have given this great sacrifice for all of mankind.
I myself have not been one of the unfortunate who have lost a loved one in such a tragic way. I feel so lucky, but still there should be no greater honor and should be respected and remembered for all of eternity. I can't even begin to express how grateful that I am! So here is a rose to each and everyone of you for today and every day of your life.
P.S.So to all of the loved ones of those great people who have insured me such a great & wonderful way of life my heart goes out to you with the greatest sympathy & love not just this day of the year but everyday 24-7-365
