Honor them
So often people talk of honor around Memorial Day but merely give lip service to it before a BBQ or sale.
Take the time to be as deliberate as this display. Unrushed. Respect. Let the full weight of what they’re doing sink in. They all can carry scars from serving…many unseen that people don’t understand so just judge and dismiss them.
Remember that Memorial Day, and the displays with it, isn’t all veterans. That falls to Veteran’s Day, which should be remembered every day. Memorial Day is for those who paid the ultimate price, and some think should remember the over 22 a day who die from their own hands directly or indirectly. Others live for the brothers and sisters that are thought of not just this day but who doesn’t leave their thoughts. Some of those will be remembered later this week.
But for today…really watch and take in this clip. It’s powerful.
