Memorial Day

I am sad to see this has become just another holiday in my town. Not even a holiday that everyone is off work. The City worked their regular eight hours! I was shocked.
What has happened to us? We can't take one day out of our precious lives to remember men and women who died for our country? No matter if you agree with this particular war or not, what about the Civil War? What about WWI,or II? What about the American War of Independence? People died so we could live in freedom.
I am fortunate I have never lost a loved one to war, but I know those who have. Their lives were important.
I hope I never take for granted what was given so I can live free.
