Putting Memorial Back into Memorial Day
Body
This weekend, tens of millions of Americans will shed some of the shackles they have been wearing for over a year, when the pandemic became full blown, and attend family gatherings, cookouts, the lake and more. Yet many of us have only a vague idea as to why we have a three-day weekend. I am often intrigued when I hear people ask about this particular holiday and what it represents. Some have not the foggiest idea while others think we are honoring veterans.
