Memorial Day

I have thought about Memorial Day off and on for the past week. Words like gratitude, thankfulness and appreciation came to mind. There is a certain gravity surrounding Memorial Day. For some, it is obvious that they understand the importance and significance of Memorial Day. For others, perhaps the gravity of this day has not exerted its power within their soul. I am just grateful that I live in a country with the freedom that we have. There are many places where I would not be afforded as much freedom. Let us all hope that freedom will ring throughout this land for many more years to come and let us celebrate those that have given their lives so that we have the freedom that we do.
