05/29/2023 - Memorial Day

Memorial Day, a federal holiday
in the United States for honoring 
and mourning the U.S. military 
personnel who died while serving
in the United States Armed Forces
from 1868 to 1970. Wikipedia

I fear Memorial Day has become
more of a time of family picnics 
rather than an honoring of our lost 
forefathers. Not quite sure how I
feel about that.

It is well worth remembering that
we are who we are today because
of them. Alas, 'tis easy to forget.

Albeit Memorial Day or Veterans 
Day, and/or my own feelings re
d) all of the above, I honor those
who have served. I am from a
military family and I will ever
and always honor mine own.
