Memorial Day

For some people Memorial Day marks the end of school, the beginning of summer, a paid holiday at work, the Indianapolis 500, or a three day weekend to travel somewhere else. Sometimes we forget the significance of the holiday. This is the holiday where we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, their life, for our country. James and I took a recent trip to Washington D.C. where we found time to visit Arlington National Cemetary. Looking out over 220,000 grave sites says a lot about the sacrifices those people made to keep us free.
