Memorial Day!!! the unofficial start of Summer!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh..............Memorial Day weekend... a Holiday weekend for Cookouts, Parades, a 3-day weekend from work. Time to break out the swimwear....open the pool... try on last year's summer clothes....wash up the patio furniture.....dust off the chaise cushions...and relax!!!
Memorial Day is also a Patriotic Holiday....To pay tribute to those fallen heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice...their lives for our Freedom.
I'd like to ask each and every one of you to take the time this weekend in between the picnics and fun of the Holiday and remember those heroes and offer a prayer.....Pray for those who have fought and paid the price dearly. Pray for those who are serving their Country and in Harm's way at this moment..... Pray for their families..The Gold Star Mothers ....Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Wives, Husbands.. offer them comfort, remembrance, and gratitude.
Lastly, no matter your personal views on this and any other War, remember to Thank these selfless heroes for allowing us the Freedom to express those opinions without retribution, retaliation, and recourse.
And especially to the hero in my life......as always my love, thank you for standing on that wall everyday and for providing the blanket of Freedom I sleep under every night!
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Enjoy Your Day....Enjoy your Holiday!! Cheryl
