memorial day

Today’s editorial in the Prescott Daily Courier is about the meaning of Memorial Day. I think Tim Wiederaenders got it just right:

This weekend is not about automobile races, such as the Indianapolis 500 or the Prescott Valley Grand Prix (held Saturday and Sunday); trips to the ocean or camping in the mountains; or even a barbecue.

It is about those who gave all so we could enjoy those things.

While you are flipping a burger, cracking open a cold one, cheering on your favorite driver (amazing race Sunday, huh?!) or just hanging out with friends and family, please pause for a moment and remember those who made it possible.

Sometimes I agree with the paper’s editorial opinion, sometimes not. This one is worth a read.

From http://www.copyblogger.com/day-to-remember/

“At the grave of a hero we end, not with sorrow at the inevitable loss, but with the contagion of his courage; and with a kind of desperate joy we go back to the fight.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

Gadsden Flag

 

I noticed a neighbor put out a flag for Memorial Day. Great idea!  So I decided to fly my Gadsden flag.
