Memorial Day
Memorial Day may not mean the same thing to any two people in the United States. It’s a day when we honor those who gave their lives to protect our freedoms; when we place flowers on the graves of family members who influenced our lives; a day at the beach or going to a baseball game; having a barbeque with family and friends; the day when sons and daughters bring your grandchildren to visit you at the senior “rest” home.
Whatever your circumstances, it’s a day of remembrance.
I, like most of you, honor the fallen servicemen who gave it all to protect us. But more than that, I honor those who were maimed and crippled — those who spent or will spend the rest of their lives living with their disability. War is hell, and we should never ask servicemen to risk death or being crippled for life without a declaration of war that puts our nation on the line with those who pay the price to protect us.
