Memorial Day. For a long time, Memorial Day seemed at risk of becoming just another day off work — a reason to have a picnic or barbecue, or go to the beach or pool. Or, the beginning of summer vacation. But in recent years, a new awareness of the sacrifices our military members are making is emerging, becoming an ingrained part of our American experience. The men and women who have died for our freedom represent the diverse patchwork that is the United States of America. They were rich and poor; black and white; male and female. They were from cities and suburbs. They came from every ethnicity, background and political spectrum. In short, they looked like anyone of us. Their one common characteristic is that they all took an oath to serve and die for America if called upon.
We can ensure that the memories of these heroes and their sacrifices are not in vain. We can ensure that future generations understand the importance of service, sacrifice, and honor. We can ensure through our own community service that our country remains strong, free and prosperous. We cannot forget. Whether it’s an hour ago or a century ago, we remember. We honor the heroes of all wars, not just on Memorial Day, but through our daily commitment to ensure that America remains a place worthy of such sacrifice.
Let us take this time to remember and honor the men and women who have given their lives for our great country. Let us reflect on their courage, their sacrifice, and their dedication to a cause greater than themselves. And let us recommit ourselves to the cause of freedom, justice and democracy, so that the legacy of our fallen heroes will live on for generations to come. We continue to mourn their loss, but most of all, we celebrate their lives. Thank you, God bless America, and God bless our very own Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8195 here in West Park, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
