Memorial Day is a time set aside for remembering.
I will confess that I often forget to remember. That may sound like an oxymoron, but it isn't really.
I find myself guilty of allowing Memorial Day to be just another day off work - - - a great day of rest from a busy schedule.
But it is so much more.
This morning in church, we built a flower arrangement of remembrance.
They were followed by people who placed a rose in honor of a family member currently serving our country.
I was proud to place a rose in honor of my nephew, David Birky, who pilots a Coast Guard rescue helicopter in Sitka, Alsaka.
What a precious reminder of those who have gone before, paving the way.
And what a great way to honor those who still serve to ensure our liberty.
Remember, your freedom is not free.

What a nice way to remember those who have served our country. I'm sure it was a moving ceremony
That is a wonderful way to honor those who serve!
We can't thank the fallen vets enough.
I think that more of us need to remember to remember. Honestly, it's become more about barbecues than about hte people who have died serving their country and protecting our freedom.
Sure it was a touching ceremony...
What a beautiful way to remember.

That was a beautiful service.
That is a very beautiful. Don't be hard on yourself, Memorial day is important but it more important to remember and honor our loved ones and those who have served on a regular basis rather than just one day out of the year.
Have a great Thursday!
Beautiful way to commemorate the day.
Heart-warming! Prayers to all those families who sacrificed!
