Remember the sacrifice. Remember the gift. Remember more then summer is beginning. Temptation for most people on Memorial Day is to take a day off and count down to the end of school or the beginning of summer. Yet going to Washington, D.C. last fall, leads me to remember. Arlington Cemmetery. Vietnam War Memorial. World War II. Korean War. Lives sacrificed and given for the freedom we enjoy. There are no shortage of memorials in Washington, D.C. There is no shortage of sacrifice for the cause of freedom. This day take a moment to remember and give thanks. (Special thank you to my wife, Sharon, for capturing these special places with her pictures.)
