Many members of my family served our Country in several branches of the armed forces. My Grandfather served in the Navy (WWII), my Uncle was also in the Navy during times of peace, my husband’s father served in the Army (WWII) and my Father in Law was a member of the Air Force (Vietnam). On Memorial Day, my family definitely takes time out to thank our family members who served this Country to ensure our Freedom. In addition to our thoughts and prayers, we also celebrate!
How to you plan to celebrate Memorial Day?
