Memorial Day – A Time to Remember Our Fallen Heroes

As we spend time with family and friends this holiday and go to the beach or have that barbecue, please take time to remember those who sacrificed their lives while serving our country and preserving our freedom.

The reason we celebrate Memorial Day is to honor our fallen military heroes. Their lives were cut short, their potential never reached and their dreams lost forever. Their families and friends are still grieving, no matter when they lost their Warrior. 

It is not the politician, athlete, basketball star, MVP, actor, movie star, singer or rapper that’s a hero; the hero is the Warrior who serves our great nation. Talent is not equivocal to courage, fame is not synonymous with heroism. Use this day to pause, remember and honor their sacrifices. Remember and help their families. Honor those are still serving us now all over the world, but also in Afghanistan.

A famous quote attributed Abraham Lincoln says it all: “Any nation that does not honor its heroes, will not long endure”.
