"Memorial Day has become many things. It’s a holiday weekend to be shared with loved ones. It’s the start of summer. And it is an opportunity for businesses to drive attraction and sales.
It’s also a day to remember, even if just for a moment, the sacrifices made by the men and women who have come before us and those being made today, whether in uniform or in other battles, whether for the United States or wherever you call home, home.
Let’s remember that their sacrifice was for something better."
Can you share where the quote is from? Just curious to know who said it since they seem to have the meaning and priority of Memorial Day backwards...
ReplyDeleteThe first time I read the quote I thought the same thing - but I think they’re talking about what a Memorial Day has BECOME in the first part and then what it IS in th second.
