My Favorite Memorial Day Quotes

Today is Memorial Day and the unofficial start of the summer season. Memorial Day is a holiday here in the United States where we take the time to remember all of those who died while serving in our country’s armed services. It is a day to reflect on what’s important in our lives, to remember all of those who died protecting our country and our way of life. The holiday is always held on the last Monday during the month of May.

As Americans…we live in a great country, although not perfect, but a great country and we all need to remember all of those great brave men & women who died protecting us & our way of living.

If you can…reach out to the family of a fallen hero and help support them on this very special day. Even though it’s not veterans day, it’s also a good time to remember our nation’s veterans and to help them however you can.

Today…I wanted to just reflect on this special day and to share with you some of my favorite Memorial Day quotes.
