According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of our country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize veterans who sacrificed their lives for our country.
Let’s enjoy this weekend with our families and friends while being grateful for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America.
