Many members of my family including Dad, Uncles, and now cousins have served in Americas wars, one ancestor of mine served during the Civil War. Thankfully most returned home alive and well, albeit with scars both mental and physical that those of us who never have been in war will thankfully never know.
I always talk of retail and collecting and the like. This is one day of the year when people should not be running to the malls and or stores, however that is exactly what this holiday has become to many. A time to run to the mall or the lake or the mountains and go hiking swimming or BBQing.
I must admit I enjoy having a day off from work myself and do engage in BBQ's with the family and the like.
But as Americans we must remember all of those that have paid the ultimate price, so that we are and have remained free today. Thanks.
