Today is Memorial Day. It's to remember those who wore the uniform and gave everything to protect our freedom and our way of life. It's changed from Decoration Day gradually over the years to Memorial Day and for the uninformed in our society it's the unofficial start of the summer season.
For those of us who are informed as to the history of this solemn day it's a time to reflect upon what those in uniform died to protect. What we enjoy today and take for granted was paid for by those few who have answered their country's call again, and again, and again.
Remember those that gave all today, to fight for oppressed people around the world. Remember those still in combat today and their families that miss them. Remember those families that have lost their loved ones to duty.
