Happy Memorial Day: Remember The Women And Men Who Died.

Memorial Day, like a lot of summer holidays, are usually celebrated at the beach or at a barbecue.

We tend to forget to the meaning of the holiday as we all pack our bags and suntan lotion. This is just a reminder, as you bake, eat, drink and have fun in the sun, to take a small moment to thank the men and women who helped us have the freedom that we enjoy; many of the survivors have come back from duty, handicap and broken.

And let’s not forget, it’s not just white men that have given their life for our freedom but women; mothers; sisters and daughters in shades of white-to-black-to brown and beyond. We also forget many of our fallen brothers and sisters were gay, straight, bi and transgendered.


Today I will throw an extra hamburger on the grill for all the women and men who gave their life for our freedom, I hope you remember them too.
