Also on this day, I honor the inherited legacy of two of my father's uncles. Their gold stars hung in their family home many years ago, but I see them in my mind's eye today. I hope that in my own way, I can show respect for what they did for our country. I will be the best mother I can be. I will be active and honorable in my community. I will love and serve where I can and thank God that I live in a country where I can worship as my conscience directs, and that my neighbors are free to do the same.
To those who have lost, here is a little picture of the hope I am certain of:
Happy Memorial Day!
