Today we attneded the Memorial Day parade in town, as we do every year, as a way to pay our respects and honor and remember those who gave their lives in battle. As a Gold Star family this day is especially poignant for us as one of my father's brothers was killed in action in Vietnam. He was a few days shy of turning twenty years old.
I am so grateful that as a nation we have set aside this day to honor those who died in battle. I am grateful to have seen less and less "Happy Memorial Day" on social media. It is so important that we take this day to remember....
