With summer fast approaching and the thoughts of hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, have you taken the time this year to ask


"Why do you Celebrate Memorial Day".

I know you're looking forward to the 3 day weekend, maybe do some traveling, catch up on some needed house or yard work, or just visit some friends and grill out.

I know most people know that Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for the fallen soldiers in Wars that the United States has fought in the past. But did you know that since the Civil War it actually includes All Wars, including the wars that were fought in the middle east too.

I think some folks forget that all wars mean just that...All Wars. (or conflicts)

 We lost a lot of troops in the Iraq and afganistan wars, and even though these wars are more recent doesn't mean the memories are less significant.

 Each and every soldier lost in any war should be remembered, and we do this by celebrating Memorial day.

So I ask again...

Why do You Celebrate Memorial Day

Let me be clear. I, just like most Americans enjoy the 3 day weekend, grilled burgers, dogs and chicken, spend time with friends and family, so please enjoy it all, but I ask that you take some time this Memorial Day and say a little prayer for those who fought and died for this Great Country, past and present.

I'm hoping there's a special place in Heaven for these Brave Soldiers who died for our Country.

 Also, Please remember the families of those who died. Without a doubt, they remember, and we should Pray for them to receive the peace and serenity that only God can provide them.

One more thing...
In my humble opinion it wouldn't be a Memorial Day if we didn't also remember those who are now still in another region fighting for our freedom today. I know veterans day is typically for this, but there is no reason why we cannot remember them this Memorial day too. Right? Good for You!

Taken from Internet News:

 "In 2000, a National Moment of Remembrance was passed, asking all Americans to take a moment of silence to honor and respect the dead soldiers who have fought bravely for our country. Americans are asked to take just a few minutes of their day, regardless of what they may be doing, and simply observe a moment of silence, or say a prayer.
Thousands of Americans gave their lives for us and our country, surely we can spare a few minutes of our day once a year?"


With all the crazy things our government does, isn't it nice to see when something Good comes out? I think so.

So theres my opinion. If you enjoyed it..Thanks. If not, still Thanks for reading this far.

 And if you happen to be a past or present member of one of our Great Armed Forces..

From the bottom of my Heart...

Thank You for all You have Sacrificed and for Fighting for Our Country!

So I ask again..
