A few times a year we set apart special days to remember those who came before us, made sacrifices, etc. Most of us see these as the third day of a three-day weekend. I, too, have been guilty of this. My goal this year is to be more diligent in showing the folks who the holiday is for more respect and go out of my way to thank them if possible. I hate how flippant we have become as a society - how the greeting card companies have created extra little holidays in order to "boost" sales (like "sweetest day" - hello - Valentine's Day already exists!)...my goal is to be more real, more genuine. I hope anyone who actually reads this will join me. God bless our fallen and their families. May you find peace and comfort.
Apologies for being a day late, but have been swamped with work and school - capstone and master's classes at the same time!
