This Memorial Day, Remember Why Our Forefathers Gave Their Lives
Memorial Day is more than just the cap on a three-day weekend, more than just a summer day of grilling steaks and burgers and hot dogs, more than just a day of fun in the sun with family and friends. Memorial Day is set aside every year to honor those who gave their lives for this great nation. One way to honor America's slain, unsung heroes, of course, is to appreciate the peace and security that they gave their lives to protect, but an even more meaningful way to honor their memory and their sacrifice is to follow in their footsteps and make our own sacrifices for the country that they loved enough to die for.
