What is the Meaning Behind Memorial Day?

I just thought I would take the time to say, "Thank You" to all of those that have served our country and those who currently are. Without them, we would not be able to do a lot of the things we take for granted. They are my heros and I respect them and all they they do, and I just pray for their safety.

I was driving home from my guitar lesson yesterday morning and on NPR they had veterans telling stories of their time in Vietnam. Listening to what they went through just made me cry.

That is true, and my heart goes out for them, but also memorial day is specific to those that have died for our country, may they rest in peace.
