My Top 5 Ways to Appreciate Memorial Day

Memorial Day signifies the beginning of summer. School is almost out, and the weather has turned warm. People take the long weekend to travel, have bbq parties, swim, bike, and spend it with friends and family. But there’s a deeper meaning to Memorial Day that we often times forget. Yes, it is a legal holiday but the original intent was to set aside a day in which we commemorate the members of the United States armed forces who were killed in war.

In this day and age, you would be hard pressed to find someone who hadn’t had a family member killed or at least know someone who did in one of the wars our country has been involved in. Even if you, personally, don’t have a family member who died while protecting our country, there are thousands who have.
