For a large number of Americans, Memorial Day weekend is thought of as a relaxing 3 day weekend filled with parties, barbecues, trips and other fun activities. Memorial Day (Monday, May 27th this year) is actually a federal holiday we celebrate to remember the people who died while serving in our nation’s armed forces. Our freedom was not free and because of those who’ve paid the ultimate sacrifice with their life defending our nation, we are able to relax and enjoy this particular weekend each year. Thank you to all of the men and women who’ve served and sacrificed for our nation!
