Be with your family.
Laugh with your kids.
Cook the food.
Take the trip.
Enjoy the day off.
Even enjoy the sales.
That freedom was paid for by men and women willing to stand on the line for something bigger than themselves.
But I do ask one thing…
Just pause for a moment today.
Think about the ones who never made it home.
The families who carry that absence forever.
The men and women who right now, in this very moment, are standing watch so the rest of us can live freely and safely.
Memorial Day is more than a long weekend.
It’s a reminder that freedom has always come with a cost paid by someone else first.
Honor them.
Remember them.
And live fully… because that’s exactly what they fought for.
