Memorial Day is Not National BBQ Day



I know these little slogans are everywhere but it's important we remember it isn't just a 3 day weekend. There are thousands of people who mourn thousands of fallen soldiers all over our great country. It isn't just something to say, it is something to think about, pray about, be grateful for and most importantly teach our children. 

Our fallen soldiers died for Republicans, Democrats, all races and all religions because they themselves were all races and religions. We need to think about kindness and mercy towards each other to honor their lives.

We have to remember too, it isn't only the latest fallen ,but those who many years ago died to keep us free or way back to our beginnings to win our freedom the first time. Teach your children., read a bit of history, do a little research.

~FREEDOM REALLY ISN'T FREE~

Have a lovely day Monday, celebrate your freedom, say a toast, remember the fallen if only for a moment but please, out of respect, don't wish people a Happy Memorial Day it isn't so happy for many.

~Blessings~
