I saw this on a friend's Facebook post today and thought it was very good:
... wonder how many men and women in Afghanistan and in service to our country around the globe will have a BBQ tomorrow? Kinda puts any of our circumstances into perspective, huh?
How many times do we only see Memorial Day for a weekend of pleasure without truly realizing the sacrifice made so that we may do so? There are probably many Americans today waving their American flags because it is "the thing to do" this weekend without truly considering the many men and women who have laid down their lives so that we may "eat, drink, and be merry."
Let us not forget the sacrifices that have been and are still being made.
Our freedom is built upon them.
