Memorial Day is observed today. It is the end of what commonly is a long weekend filled with family and fun and relaxation. But it first an foremost is a day to honor those Americans who died in service to their country.
Those millions gave up their lives preserving our nation's security and values. We should take at least one day each year to remember that... and that being an American means accepting a commitment to those values. E pluribus unum... not vice versa.
