Year of Kindness and Gratitude: Gratitude for Our Soldiers

See below for While you are enjoying your three-day weekend take a few minutes to reflect on what Memorial Day is all about. There’s no denying the magnitude of the sacrifice fallen soldiers have made fighting for our country. We celebrate Memorial Day not only to remember those who have fallen, but also to reflect on the cause for which they gave their lives. Those we honor on Memorial Day have sacrificed it all so that we can enjoy the safety and freedom we so often take for granted — and one of the greatest ways to pay our respects to the fallen is to appreciate these gifts. So when you and your friends are enjoying your Memorial Day barbecue, remember the many men and women who fought to protect this freedom.

“Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can honor their sacrifice.” — President Barack Obama
