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.
Initially called Decoration Day after the Civil War as a day to decorate the graves of soldiers. Over time, this day evolved to Memorial Day established as a United States federal holiday to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and died while serving in the military. 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 2024 to the present. We will remember the smiling faces, and life lessons learned, and celebrate their lives.
