I admit to never knowing much how to celebrate Memorial Day. I often go to church on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and will attend a picnic or barbeque, but only if invited. When I was a kid, I would sometimes wander the cemeteries close to my house on the Monday of that long weekend, and just look around. But, no celebration at my house – which is actually quite unusual, since I take every opportunity to have a party.
So no, I have never come quite to terms with how to pay homage to those – and the families of those, who have paid the ultimate price in service to country. To those who placed duty, above all. And to those who continue to do so, in this insane world we live in.
Bless them, all.
Peace.
