Labeled “Just in case you thought Memorial Day was another excuse to get drunk or cook out,” the image shows a young widow with her baby lying on the ground next to the tombstone of her husband. It’s a heartbreaking scene that highlights the families left behind when their loved ones sacrifice their lives for our country.
Too many people take advantage of the day off without giving a thought to what the holiday is all about.
Please remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and honor those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy.
