What does Memorial Day mean to you? Do you celebrate the day? Is it a day to have a cookout or just a day off of work. It has a different meaning to many people. For me it's a day to reflect on what I have and to give thanks. While in the military the HMIC has had one of the hardest jobs, it not only affected him but the whole family. We now know what it truly means to give the ultimate sacrifice. What that sacrifice means and the effect it has on the ones that knew you and loved you. We all here of the numbers that have died but each number is an actual person with a family. The first family that the HMIC notified truly touched me. At the time the similarities between their family and ours were to many. Could I have been that strong or understanding? That is a question I hope I don't ever have to answer but many have. To all those families that we have known that have lost someone you will always be in my thoughts and prays. Days like today now have true meaning to my family. For those of you that have given, given all, and continue to give THANK YOU. Thank you for your sacrifice(s). For just going and doing what you are asked weather you agree or not knowing you might not return. For missing many birthdays, anniversaries, births and years of your families lives.
