There is much we too often overlook when Memorial Day comes around each year...given our desires to celebrate time away from work at the beach, on the lake, or in a backyard standing next to a BBQ grill loaded with hot dogs, or chicken, or burgars...with lots of other good old American food sitting nearby waiting to be enjoyed. There's more...much more...we need to think about.
While we rightly mainly focus on the sacrifices made in battle by those who served in uniform, we sometimes fail to recognize similar sacrifices made by family members of service men and women who served alongside their loved-one...in good times and bad.
So, over this holiday weekend as you raise a flag, or say a prayer, or recall those you knew who are no longer with us, taks a few moments to remember military spouses and children who were a part of it all too.
