"On this day, Americans are so often consumed with the changing season, barbeques and the luxury of a three-day weekend. We shuffle from Friday to Monday and rejoice at the freedom afforded to us from work, from school.
It’s natural to get caught up in the activities of Memorial Day weekend, but I urge every reader to please take a moment away from enjoying the changing season and offer a solemn remembrance of our fallen heroes. Ponder what it is to be an American and rejoice not only in the freedom of an extended weekend, but in the blanket of freedom in which we are all cloaked thanks to the sacrifices of America’s heroes."

I'm thankful to be surrounded by friends who get this. Four of my girlfriends even ran in remembrance of my brother.
