Memorial Day

While many have partied this weekend and are enjoying the festivities of Memorial Day,
it is of the utmost importance that the  TRUE reasons behind MEMORIAL DAY are never forgotten.

This is a HEAVY reality!
American Soldiers have laid down their LIVES for us to be awake today.
For us to have freedom.

Their families have never been the same without them.
These SOLDIERS make sacrifices.

In the civilian world let us decide today to sincerely be grateful for the sacrifices these Soldiers make and have made.
Let us acknowledge and pray for the families that must see them off or have had to bury their loved ones.

My family has had several people serve.
The stories are real; there is pain, there are limited yet rewarding moments.
Their lives changed in one way or another forever.
They know who they are and this post is dedicated to all of you!

*Here is a video that may show you the true meaning behind Memorial Day.
There is sadness in watching this however, my goals are for you to better understand the true meaning of MEMORIAL DAY!
For you to appreciate LIFE, this very second!
 For you to think before you go about your day ungrateful about anything!
For you to realize how precious LIFE is and make something of YOURSELF of  YOUR LIFE!
For you to see why we should be thankful to our American Soldiers.

Today and everyday, give thanks to our  American Soldiers/ Veterans. 
Past, present and future.
May God always BLESS you and guide your paths.

THANK YOU!

-Sincerely Sherri
