Through the past weekend, I noticed a common theme through the conservative media: Memorial Day has become too much about barbecues and sales and the weekend itself.
And I agree...mostly.
But when I think about Memorial Day, in addition to the services and the remembrance of the terrible cost of freedom, the images that pop into my mind are those of small town Americana; the gatherings, the celebration, and yes, the barbecues are, in a way, a perfectly fitting memorial.
What better way to honor those who fell for our freedom then to exercise those very freedoms? And how many of those brave souls spent the final moments of their lives recalling these scenes of home?
That being said we must never, ever forget. For if we forget, we can only be doomed to loose this land and all that she stands for.
