I wouldn't say Memorial Day is a happy celebration but it's a day set aside that reminds me of what I'm most grateful for. There was a huge price to pay for America being what it is today and I am thankful for those who sacrificed everything for that.
My grandfather was a WW2 veteran but luckily he made it home. Of course, or I wouldn't be here. However, sadly, so many didn't make it home. I can't imagine the pain the families faced knowing they would never see their loved ones again but with that sadness came pride because they died a hero.
Today we will gather to barbecue and hopefully share laughter and fun, but my mind will stay focused on the true meaning for this holiday.
"All gave some, some gave all."
