Today is Memorial Day in the United States! This federal holiday is observed annually in the US as it falls on the last Monday in May. “Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War”. (1) I wish I was able to spend some time with family and friends this weekend for the many BBQs, parades, concerts, fireworks and events!
My deepest gratitude to all that have served, are serving,
and especially the men & women who gave their lives on our behalf.
