Happy Memorial Day. On the surface, yes, it’s the beginning of summer, barbecues, hot dogs, people hitting the beach (why is beyond me. Yes it’s nice to be out in the sun, but the water is still cold. It really doesn’t warm up til the 4th of July).
But the idea is to remember everyone who served, and many died for our freedom. My sister is still with us, but she’s the only one in our family who actively served. She spent three years as a nurse in the Army Reserves, serving every other weekend.
She never had to see actual combat, but she would’ve gone in a heartbeat.
