A day of remembrance

What exactly does Memorial Day mean to me? A cartoon I saw this morning put it perfectly. “Thanksgiving is a day when we pause to give thanks for the things we have. Memorial Day is a day when we pause to give thanks to the people who fought for the things we have.”

For some time now, I had forgotten that our freedom is not simply owed to those who fought and died in the battle field, but to all of the men and women who serve.
