Memorial Day Originally called Decoration Day, for the early tradition of decorating the grave sites with flowers, wreaths, and flags. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to our country. Many will be enjoying the long weekend with cookouts and all means of starting the summertime fun outdoors at the lake, beach etc- It's important to remember what the holiday is truly about. The families that have lost loved ones likely don't care that much about the BBQ's..... The servicemembers who survived while losing some of their brothers and sisters also have a much different experience than a long weekend of fun. They tend to re-live the trauma of their experience of loss and having seen things no human should have to see. Some even feel guilt for being the ones who made it home Please remember all of those in these situations, and reach out to those you know and offer a hug, love and compassion The best way to honor Memorial Day is to keep those who perished in serving our country alive in our hearts and memories, as well as offering love and support to the survivors Peace
