Memorial Day


A hero is the one who knows how to hang on one minute longer. Without heroes, we are all plain people, and don't know how far we can go. I believe it is the nature of people to be heroes, given the chance. Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves. This holiday should be a solemn day of remembrance. Unfortunately, the significance of the day is often lost under the coolers and beach blankets in the trunk of the car. Let's not forget what has been fought for. Our freedom of speech, freedom to act, freedom to question authority or freedom to live freely. This is the time to especially thank the veterans and active military in your life and to reflect upon those who served for the greater good, the greater freedom that we all enjoy today. I know I do everyday of my life.
