Fire truck sirens, baton twirlers, marching bands covering patriotic tunes, colorful floats, costumes, and millions of red, white, and blue American flags – that’s Memorial Day for many of us.

While we enjoy the parades and picnics, let’s also remember to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom.
