It’s understandable to question whether there’s anything “happy”
about Memorial Day.
Surely, it’s a time to remember, reflect upon, and honor
those who have died for our nation. So
maybe the day should evoke only somber moments.
But not entirely. Those
who died did so in service to America, consciously or otherwise. Didn’t they die for a worthy cause? And isn’t that worth remembering?
We should all be happy – and grateful – that there are
those among us who are willing to risk death to protect our great land. Yes, this particular holiday is a somber one,
but it’s a joyful one, too.
So I now say, without reservation, Happy Memorial Day!
