Memorial Day is the most expensive holiday on the calendar. Every hot dog, every burger, every spin around the lake, or drink with friends and family… is a debt purchased by others.
This day isn’t about all who have served — that day comes in the fall.
This one honors those who paid in life and blood; whose moms never saw them again, whose dads wept in private, whose wives raised kids alone, and whose children only remember them from pictures.
It isn’t simply a day off. It’s a day to remember that others paid for every free breath you ever get to take.
Freedom.
Lowes had a beautiful display to show respect to fallen heroes.
Today, I especially remember the sacrifice of Maj. Adrianna M. Vorderbruggen and her team. They will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸
