Memorial Day Weekend Is Not Just About Time Off

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

It’s finally here: the weekend many of us have looked forward to for months. Memorial Day! Here in the U.S., we get Monday off (by the way, thanks to those of you who are working this weekend to help the rest of us have a happy holiday).

Don’t you just love Memorial Day Weekend? It’s a time when many American families can spend time together enjoying the warmer weather we’ve been wishing for. You fire up the ol’ barbecue grill. You dig around in the garage until you find those flying discs you put away last fall. You find the ball and gloves, and you get the kids out there to play catch in the back yard. You plant stuff in the garden and spiff-up your outdoor living space for a summer of fun. You take a drive. You take a walk. You smile and laugh and enjoy life!

Of course, at least in the back of your mind, you realize that this weekend is not just about fun time off. It’s about honoring the fallen, especially the military heroes who’ve made this (and every) fun weekend possible by securing for us the “blessings of freedom” envisioned by our founding fathers.
