Too many people take Memorial Day for granted. They spend their holiday getting boozed up, relaxing at the beach, and looking at the day as an excuse to not be at work.
What they SHOULD be doing is taking the time out to thank a veteran for their service, or to simply reach out to a currently enrolled soldier, and THANK THEM for our freedom.
Personally, I feel that Americans too often take our magnificent country for granted and are so hypocritical to say that they'd rather live somewhere else. Move to a third world country for a month, I can guarantee you, you'll be crying, pleading, and begging for your freedom in no time.
I'm blessed to say I've had many relatives fight for this country, several of my closest friends are currently serving our country, and my own father is honored enough to have his body laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.
So before you crack a can of beer open today or throw some hot dogs on the grill, pick up the phone, and thank a soldier or veteran today.
Then enjoy the rest of your holiday, but NEVER forget where your freedom comes from, or the people who've given their lives and STILL put themselves in the line of fire to make it a reality.
That being said, Happy Memorial Day from $TOP $ELLING DREAM$ .......... And an extended salute to all of our troops overseas, get home safe gentlemen, we can't thank you enough for your courage.
