Memorial Day
Memorial_Day_2018
This 'Memorial Day' weekend is when hundreds of thousands of Americans will head on vacation, school is out for most children now that the 'unofficial' start of Summer has arrived. Many high school and college graduates will be starting new jobs so this is viewed as their long pre-work celebration weekend.. In all the cook-outs, boating adventures, travel and enjoyable times it is easy to forget the true meaning of this 'day of memory and memorializing.'
But Monday May 28 is a day of memorializing, a time to celebrate and honor what started out as Decoration Day, it was the time that families went and decorated the graves of those loved ones and friends who had given everything in service to our country.
Just yesterday I observed a Scout Troop out in a little ‘old’ cemetery near my home placing small American flags next to the graves of Veterans. It is a fitting tribute, a way of remembering, those who sacrificed themselves, so we could have the freedom we enjoy.
On this Memorial Day we at Insightful Accountant want to ask you to join with us as we honor our Active Military, Veterans, Wounded Warriors and their families for their service. We gratefully honor you, and all you represent to our country.
