Please! Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday

I love this holiday. It's one of the few I think that has as its celebration, a fitting tie to what we're supposed to be celebrating. What do our soldiers fight for, and what have all the soldiers who came before them fought for? They secure our liberties, true. But if all of our liberties are secure, what would MOST people like to be doing? They'd like to enjoy friends and family with a backyard barbeque and maybe a parade. That sounds like Memorial Day to me.
Please do take a few quiet moments to remember why most of us aren't working on Monday. Then, go outside and enjoy yourself! That's what all those soldiers, airmen, and sailors up in heaven would want you to do, right after you say a prayer for their families and in thanksgiving for your freedom.
