For many, Memorial Day is considered the first day of summer to celebrate with family gatherings, shopping, cookouts, and vacations. It is however a solemn day. Let us now hold each other close, forgetting grudges and disappointments within our family.
Memorial Day was established as a United States federal holiday to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and died while serving in the military. "The National Moment of Remembrance," asks all citizens to have one minute of silence at 3 PM local time in tribute to those who died in the military. Taps Across America will be played at that time.
This day is also a day I have chosen to acknowledge and remember all non-military family members who have died. I would like to recognize family members who have died from all causes from Memorial Day 2023 to the present. We will remember the smiling faces, and life lessons learned, and celebrate their lives.

GOD bless those who have gone before us.
