Memorial Day is more than the start of summer. It is an American holiday to honor and thank those men and women who courageously gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. It originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. It is a day we remember the heroes who gave everything and the loved ones they left behind.
"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices."
President Harry S. Truman
America! America! God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
Have a safe Memorial Day!
Love in Christ,
Tera
