When most people think of Memorial Day, they think of backyard barbecues and an extra day off for work. And I agree, Memorial Day is a lot of fun, but I think that we should remember to teach our children the reason we have this extra special holiday.
It is a day we should pause and honor all those men and women who have fought and sacrificed for the freedoms that we have and we take for granted each day. There are so many who have given the ultimate price, their lives, so that we can enjoy simple liberties like the freedom to say what we want about anything and everything.
There is a lot of room for improvement in our country, but in my opinion, it's still the best country in the world. So thank you to all those brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for us. And thank you to all those courageous soldiers who continue to sacrifice each day and protect us as a nation ensuring that we continue to enjoy these precious liberties.
I promise as a mother to future generations to do my part in helping my children learn, respect, and appreciate the sacrifices that have been made on our behalf so that we never take for granted all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy.
As we decorate with red, white, and blue, please take a moment to remember and honor all those brave men and women and their sacrifices and be sure to thank anyone who serves in our military. They are the reason we are and continue to be the greatest country on earth.
