Time grant us the serenity to heal-
What can I say about the word memorial you don't already know by definition it means...
Something designed to preserve the memory of a person, group, or historical event. It can be the tangible or intangible.
It doesn't say it's sad, somber, or melancholy but it also doesn't state it isn't, it's to preserve the memory.
So for the weekend and even the day, it's dealers choice how you choose to preserve the memory of military service members who died while in service.
It might be someone you know, someone you didn't, someone you know knew, or no one you know doesn't.
It's possible they didn't die for you, it's possible they didn't die for their country, and it's possible they didn't die in war.
What is fact is they died during their service and whether you are or weren't a part of the reason doesn't change the fact, that their memory would be a great reminder to us all by being preserved, that to everyone they loved and everyone who they didn't even know, recognizes the appreciation of service, to all of us, the one's who depended on them, supported them, and didn't have to serve because of them.
So do me a small favor as a fellow human being simply say this in a toast "Raise a drink, not to say thank you, but simply to appreciate those gone in military service."
I don't care if you're boating, at the BBQ, round the fire, at the bar, or in the backyard just take a minute for them, be sad, be happy, be mad, express any emotion you want, but preserve their memory.
If you do this PLEASE comment Appreciate Them
For me every year, hell every day I preserve the memory of Rel Ravago IV (KIA/Iraq).
Enjoy Memorial Day weekend for them.
Until next time, I'm Cowboy Jax, let's ride!
