Today, America remembers those who sacrificed everything to defend life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. May those who never made it home from war be honored, every day, freedom ringing for everyone. On this day, let us be mindful of those who did come home and face the daily struggle with the trauma and constant violence of war.
Tuesday, May 28, is National Hamburger Day, which comes near the end of National Hamburger Month. Tonight I made us homemade hamburgers with tater tots. We have had hamburgers for the last three days because of the Memorial Day observance.
It is Memorial Day in America. That means there will be a 3-day weekend for most folks including those who work in our courts. As a courtesy remember the judge doesn’t come into Tuesday so don’t do anything to get yourself into trouble.
Nothing says Memorial Day more than watching Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. Remembering the Wizards and Witches that gave their lives in defense of Hogwarts.
Today is Memorial Day and I’m putting a twist on it by remembering all who have died because of gun violence. These people did not choose to die but due to the violence that is an epidemic in America they gave their all. Let us remember those who we have lost. May they never be forgotten.
We still remember those who died for their country. I hope it’s worth their sacrifice.
It’s strange that Memorial Day is not more sober and somber. The idea of celebrating it with barbecues and parties seem weird to me. Perhaps this should be a day of mindfulness and service. Those who didn’t come home from war should be honored in a different way.
To all who gave the ultimate sacrifice may what you did never be in vain and may all people benefit in pursuing life and liberty and responsible freedom. Grace and peace to you and your families who mourn this day.
May there be peace on Earth. No more bloodshed, no more pain. No more wars
