Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day, which is a federal holiday in THE United States of Amercia, observes on the last Monday of May EVERY year. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. "They" say that it was first recorded to have been observed by Freedman (freed enslaved southern blacks) in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1865, at the Washington Race Course, to remember the fallen Union Soldiers of the Civil War.

Well, today it is now known as Memorial Day, a day to commemorate ALL US service members who died, while in the military service.

Memorial Day often marks the start of THE summer season and then Labor Day marks the end of summer season.

The above information was provided by Wikipedia.

On this day, I "celebrate" all men and women who have provide THE United States of America with their service, whether they be alive or not, as they have fought for me and my family. They have weathered conditions that I KNOW I couldn't have. They have made GREAT sacrifices for me and my family. As I sit here and type this post in my nice, warm home, drinking my cup of coffee, and waiting to get in the shower, so I can go about my day, having got a full night's sleep, with my children and husband right next to me, there are men and women fighting for our country whether it be here, amongst helping tornado victims, Afghanistan, or even Iraq, who are making great sacrifices and are helping to make it possible so I can keep living this way.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN PAST AND PRESENT!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FAMILIES THAT HAVE SHARED YOUR MEN AND WOMEN WITH OUR COUNTRY........THANK YOU!!!!
