Our family has a BBQ Memorial Day weekend, but a lot of the time, we don't do it on Memorial Day. I mean, I have seen a lot of things out this year, floating around FB about how Memorial Day weekend isn't a day for BBQ's but a day for remembrance of the fallen solders that died for our freedom. And while I can agree with that statement, those solders died for our freedom ... so that we could celebrate our freedom. So those who decide to have BBQ's to celebrate what those soldiers died for..... what is the big deal? We do - our family does - make sure that we honor our fallen soldier. You can't NOT do that when you live in a military family. My husband was Army, my Dad was Navy, and that's how he met my Step-Mom, my Step-Dad was Navy, many of my Uncles served in the Military in various branches, I have a couple cousins that ARE serving. My Grandparents served on both sides.
Military touches our lives. We are beyond thankful to those who served and gave the ultimate price, and those who served and came home. And although today isn't for those who served and came home, I would extend today to any soldier that came home minus body parts, with severe PTSD, with whatever might have changed them and made them NOT the person that they left being. They also made a very significant sacrifice. So THANK YOU ....
THANK YOU....
