Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend has arrived and many families gather together to celebrate this time.

When I was younger, I associated Memorial Day with anticipation as I knew that summer was coming.

It wasn’t until I grew older and  began diligently working on Jacob and Marie Johler’s memoirs that I came to really appreciate all the sacrifices of the military.

Coming together with family and friends is a wonderful way to remember that life is short, freedom is not free and that the joy is in the journey. Celebrate your life and give thanks for the new day.

Praying everyone has a relaxing, safe and happy weekend while at the same time, remembering those fallen soldiers who never had the opportunity to do so.
