Your Personal Memorial Day
(Reprint from May, 2008)
It is Memorial Day week-end; a three day week-end for most of us…Picnics, barbeques, parades, pool parties and numerous other ways of celebrating Memorial Day!
What are YOUR personal Memorial Days?
And, as we all celebrate this weekend, I wish for us all to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day…(I actually looked up the meaning on Wikipedia, to be sure I understood the full meaning) It says:
Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed in 2008 on May 26). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it was expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.
I didn’t know that it went as far back as the Civil War. Did you?
One of my very favorite coaches and authors is Phillip E. Humbert PhD. he wrote of Memorial Day and “your personal Memorial Day” back in May, 2005. I wish to direct you to his post, as this is one of my favorites. Hope it becomes one of your favorites, also.
