Memorial Day is a time to remember those who have passed on, particularly those who served their country. Many people take time to honor them by placing flags on their headstones or having a barbecue to celebrate the significance of the day. Each of these quotes is a great way to get into the spirit of the holiday and gain a better understanding of what the day means. So, take time this year to salute our military and be grateful for their sacrifice. Then, have a burger and some potato salad in their honor. Happy Memorial Day!
