Memorial Day
Every Memorial Day saddens me, not just because of the lives lost during our wars, also my father died on Memorial Day weekend. Is been 55 years since his passing. I mourn each year. Now think of all the family members who mourn their loved ones. I have a friend who posts a picture of her Uncle Patsy, who died in 1943 during World War Two. A relative she never knew who gave his life so we are able to have BBQ’s, camping trips, and picnics. Potential that will never be achieved follows all our lost soldiers. Some soldiers who returned are still battling their demons. Most of my proceeds from my book sales are donated to Wounded Warriors Program. Maybe instead of that extra case of beer over the weekend, make a donation to this program, or any other program that supports our soldiers. Remember they gave their lives for us, its not a joyous holiday. Enjoy your holiday BBQ’s and such, please remember the true meaning of the holiday. When having your first drink salute them for their sacrifice.
