Between the beach, the family fun, the picnics and the sales, it’s important to take a moment to think about what Memorial Day really is. We are honoring and remembering those men and women who have sacrificed their lives defending our country and our values. Think for a moment, as you look at the images below, of those they have left behind and share for a second in their grief because they have sacrificed too. This is what Memorial Day is all about.
