What is the real purpose of Memorial Day?
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on May 23, 2013 Memorial Day is on its way and many across the country are preparing for it. Some look at it as a day off from work, and a time to relax and unwind, and some actually honor the real purpose of this day set aside for our Military Soldiers. I remember one Memorial Holiday I hosted a party and my brother and I made a sign to place on the wall that said "Happy Memorial Day"! One of the Soldiers that attended the party was offended by this sign because he said that this holiday is not the time to celebrate, but a time of mourning and honoring the Soldiers who died in the line of duty. As I see us preparing for the holiday I am reminded to be conscious of how I choose to celebrate this holiday. Now is a great time to review the real meaning. Here is a resource to help us know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day Thank you to my Father, all of our living Soldiers and those who gave their lives for us. Have an honorable Memorial Day Weekend. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
