There are many sites around the blogsphere with much better and complete posts than the thought I’m about to share, about the significance of Memorial Day and what it means to us as Americans.

I wanted to share a thought I had earlier today.

I was driving home from an errand and I passed by a neighbor’s house and noticed that his American Flag, (which he has on a flag pole) was at half mast. (This neighbor is a graduate of the Naval Academy and a verteran himself).

Though I only saw it briefly the site of the flag at half-mast made me think about the privledge we still have to fly the Stars and Stripes. Were it not for all those who we remember on this day. Furthermore, I believe that we should not simply just honor those who have given their lives for this nation on this one specific day of the year, but rather, we should keep in mind all who served and those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms and liberties which we enjoy–every day.
