Thanks and Devotion This Memorial Day

If you were to suddenly appear this weekend at the numerous barbecues or pool parties, without any knowledge of our nation’s history, it might be hard to understand the real meaning of Memorial Day. Is it a day to sell cars, clothes and mattresses? Is it a day off of work, a time to join with family and friends, and grill out?

For our family, Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer. School is out, and we transition from the school year to summer activities.
