Iwo Jima Memorial by BrendanReals
I hope you all are enjoying beautiful weather, delicious picnics and lots of fun in the sun today, but please be sure to take a moment and remember what Memorial Day is really about. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, the holiday was expanded after World War I to honor all men and women who have died during military service.
My husband spent many years in the Army, some time in Afghanistan and will soon be leaving again after reenlisting. Some of you may not agree with the political decisions made now and in the past, but remember that those decisions are not made by the soldiers who are fighting for us everyday, they are simply doing their job. Be thankful that they are there to do it so you can live your life any way you decide to.
Now go enjoy some potato salad! I'll see you all tomorrow.
xo, nicole
