Memorial Day marks the start of summer fun, picnics and outdoor celebrations, but the real meaning behind Memorial Day often brings sadness and a heavy heart to those who have lost someone very near and dear to them. Memorial Day marks the day of remembering those of our nation’s military who died in service to their country. In your family celebrations and gatherings this weekend, please take the time to do something in honor of these courageous men and women that so willingly chose to protect and serve.
