"Memorial Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, it was expanded after World War I to include casualties of any war or military action."
Memorial Day is a special time for families and friends that are serving in any Military capacity. When I was in high school, I was well on my way to a career in the Armed Services myself. I was an Officer and Platoon Leader in my high school Navy Junior ROTC and I had two years of Army ROTC in college. I KNOW the day to day sacrifices our military as well as their families make to serve and protect our country. I have family and friends in various branches of armed services and I would like to say to each of them, I Love You and I appreciate all you do. Words can never truly express the gratitude I have in my heart for your sacrifice. To my cousin Gene AND his wife Nikki, my best friend Trese, Monica, Jared, Anthony F., Uncle Dave and my high school sweetheart Maceo, THANK YOU for a selfless job! I dedicate this song, "In Harm's Way" by Bebe Winans to you today because it is a beautiful song with a POWERFUL message. Enjoy your day!
If you have friends or family of the armed services that you'd like to acknowledge, the floor is open...
