It’s here again. Memorial Day, 2023. I always called my Uncle Gerry on Memorial Day to thank him for his service. He died a few years ago, and I miss making that call. When I was speaking with him one Memorial Day years back he asked me to take a moment that day and think about the men (and women) who gave their lives for their country over the centuries. To stop what I was doing and really think about them. Centuries, he said. It gave me a moment of reflection. I do it every year now.
Memorial Day.
Memorial Day.
