Next weekend is the holiday that most everyone considers the kick start for the summer. When I was growing up, we spent ever Memorial weekend in Oklahoma where both of my parents were born and raised. We decorated graves in the many surrounding cemeteries and enjoyed seeing all of the family that lived in the area. Nobody lives there anymore and it's been a number of years since I last decorated graves there. I will spend the weekend decorating local and will likely party at the cabin with friends.
I hope that you have plans to spend some quality time with friends and family. If you travel, please be safe. It's a great weekend to do some grilling outside so I hope you have some great meals planned.
Though we enjoy the time off and early summer fun with friends and family, it's best that we don't forget the reason we observe the "holiday". It is a day to morn and honor the loss of those that gave their lives so that we might enjoy the freedoms of this great nation. Showing respect for veterans should be 24/7/365. Please take the time to thank all veterans for their service.
