Before we pack up the grill, beach towels, and bathing suits for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, let us take a moment to remember and to honor the men and women who have served and have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today – to remind us that freedom isn’t free. Below are 20 Memorial Day quotes from some of the greatest minds:
My beautiful women: True stories of two women that will deeply touch you
Based on two true stories of two beautiful women that will deeply touch you. Choose understanding over judging another; our job is to love people, not to judge them.
The Women On My Journey by Rev. Melissa M. Bowers
To the women on my journey who showed me the ways to go and ways not to go, Whose strength and compassion held up a torch of light and beckoned me to follow, whose weakness and ignorance darkened the path and encouraged me to turn another way.
In Remembrance of the Greatness
Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, after World War I it was expanded to include casualties of any war or military action.
