A friend shared this with us:

“Memorial Day began in 1868 with the General of the Grand Army of the Republic ordering one day set aside to remember the unimaginable sacrifices of Civil War soldiers. Specifically, it sought to honor the more than 600,000 soldiers who died for their country.
On May 30, 1868, volunteers in Arlington National Cemetery placed flowers at the gravesites where thousands were buried during the Civil War. 154 years later, that tradition continues with graves in Arlington and around the county adorned with flags and flowers.
Although intended to honor the dead, Memorial Day also serves as a challenge for the living to continue the fight.
This day demands we not take our lives, our freedoms, or our country for granted. It is not just a day off to barbeque or toss candy at a parade. It’s not merely a day ushering in the opening of pools around the country. And it’s not just a signpost that school is ending and summer beginning.
What made all those beloved rhythms and rituals possible was the incredible, selfless service of generations of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for ours.
It’s a fight that is hundreds of years old.
And it’s a fight that continues today – just ask the hundreds of thousands of families that have a son, daughter, sister, brother, mom, or dad currently serving.
So how do we properly memorialize the past and celebrate the present?
My friends, on this day we celebrate those who gave their lives for their nation, let’s pause to lift them up in our prayers today.
Let’s enjoy the barbeques, parades, pools and start of summer.
But most importantly, let’s also collectively strive to live with such selflessness, gratitude and love as to justify the sacrifices of previous generations.
There would be no greater living memorial than that.
Today is your day. Live inspired.”
