I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the true meaning and reason for the Memorial Day holiday. Although it's a great excuse to get together with friends and family to have a nice cookout and celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer, I think we ought to reflect on how and why we have the freedom and opportunity for such activities. If it were not for all the brave men and women who risked and gave their lives in answer to their country's call we might not be having picnics and such.
I for one would like to extend a very sincere and heartfelt "THANK YOU" to all the men and women who have fought for the cause of freedom, regardless if they served in the U.S. military, or Canada, Australia or wherever., and regardless if they fought in wartime or in peace. My husband is Vietnam Veteran and I'm sure we have at least a few veterans here at Pixies. THANK YOU to all of you!!
