Memorial Day

What the Wikipedia article on Memorial Day says: Is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

In my family, we did not have a lot of members in the military. It was just a day off of work and a time to be with family. Now that I am older, I understand the significance of it. The things I wish I could tell my younger self. Honestly, I am unsure how to honor Memorial Day. I am grateful for the people that put their lives on the line for our country.

Today, I would like to not dwell on the past. I would like to move on into the future and be in the present. Stop being afraid.
