Memorial Day is the most expensive holiday of the year.
Every hot dog, every burger, every spin around the lake, drink with friends and family is a debt purchased by others.
This is not about all who’ve served…that day comes in the fall.
Today is in honor of those who paid in life and blood; whose moms never saw them again, whose dads wept in private, whose wives raised kids alone, and whose kids only remembered them from pictures.
This isn’t simply a day off. This is a day to remember – that others paid for every free breath you ever get to take. Freedom.
