MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day!  It is not the first day of Summer !!!

We did our preaching over and over regarding the meaning of this day in prior posts. This is the Day (actual date is 30th) to remember people and their actions.

Last year we remembered the wife's father and do so again. This picture taken in 1943 is   his ship. The SS Denver (picture) is on our wall at home. It gives cause for daily recognition.

We also add to the list of family members a Great Great Uncle who served in the Civil War.  A medal that he was awarded has found its way to us. It  is also on display. It reads: "Ready to die for the honor of our Country."

These items give true meaning to today's' holiday. Remembering these events and people is more then nice. Doing that makes the day a kind of "Memorial Day" with real meaning.
