A boy takes a break from childhood
The first Memorial Day in 1868 provided a compassionate nation the opportunity to mourn after a very brutal Civil War. Obviously that war, along with all others, was the consequence of very strong and differing opinions. Unfortunately, the currency of war is blood and many pay the ultimate price. That price is what we honor on Memorial Day.
I hope we all take a moment to respect those who gave us the opportunity to openly voice our opinions in the 1860’s, 1960’s and today. I will always cherish it!
