Remembering...
Remembering... when Memorial Day was called Decoration Day... and we used to weave red, white and blue crepe paper streamers through the spokes of our bikes, and Dad would march in the parade with his baseball team, wearing that green and white satiny PAL shirt, and we would sit in front of the house and wave to him, and later, we would march too, with the Girl Scouts, and one year, I got to carry the flag .... and people alongside the parade route would hand out little American flags... and we would eat red, white and blue popsicles...
More importantly, as we head into this Memorial Day weekend, don't forget to remember what it is really all about. We remember, we will never forget.... all the brave American heroes that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Thank you.
