Happy Memorial Day – Remembering our troops…
As we head into this holiday weekend and the official start of summer, please take a moment to reflect on the true spirit and meaning of Memorial Day. First observed in 1868, it was a time set aside to honor soldiers who died in the Civil War. Today, it commemorates all the men and women who have died in our nation’s service.
Our country has lost the gifts, talents, hopes and dreams of the untold numbers of men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. Although we will never be able to recover the value of these lives, we benefit from them every day as we enjoy the freedoms for which they died. As we honor them on Memorial Day, neighborbee hopes that this will renew in us a commitment to the values and ideals on which our country was founded.
To those of you who have lost loved ones as they served our country, neighborbee offers our most sincere compassion – and gratitude.
We hope that all of you will join us this Memorial Day in paying tribute to those who have died for our country and remembering what a great privilege and blessing it is to live in a country of freedom and liberty that has been afforded us by the grace of God and the sacrifice of many.
