There is more to Memorial Day than just getting the day off of work and firing up the grill.
This is a day that we reflect back on all those who gave their lives for the United States of America. For all the men and women who never expected to actually be in the front line, but were prepared if they were called to duty. This is a day where we hold Nick closer and thank the Lord for protecting him while he served in Iraq.
Memorial Day for us is spent participating in a Memorial Service. Nick pulls together some of the cub scouts from our pack as well as Sam as a girl scout to participate in the flag ceremony and the Pledge of Allegence. Our kids will know what Memorial Day is about - which isn't just a day off to fire up the grill.
