I don't know what it is about this year but it seems that every minute I see someone jumping down someone else's throat about what the true meaning of Memorial Day is. I don't know why, but this pettiness really urks me. It's as if people have lost sight of what those we are remembering today died for. Today is a day to remember those men and women who gave EVERYTHING they had in the service of their country. It is a day to remember that our FREEDOM does come at a price a price paid for in BLOOD, but I truly don't believe you can think about those who have died for our country without remembering those who served alongside them and who continue to serve today. I think that any day that puts our troops in the forefront of someone's mind is a WIN. Any day that reminds us to say "Thank YOU" to those who have fought and are still fighting for our freedom is a GREAT day in my book, because if today isn't a reality check into the fact that that person might not be here tomorrow to hear you say it to them I don't know what is. So well you dwell on what the true meaning of today is I am going to remember the real meaning of the day that many Men and Women have laid down their life for us and I am going say THANK YOU to each and every person who has served our country because tomorrow might be to late.
