Remembering Why Memorial Day

I’ve been thinking alot about Memorial Day recently. In fact, I’ve been thinking about it for at least six months. I wanted to get Semper Fi out into the world in time for Memorial Day. Regardless of how well (or not) the video does, it’s having an impact, and the only time to send this one off IS Memorial Day. It’s the day we honor and mourn the men and women who died with a uniform on fighting for freedom.

It feels good, too, to be supporting veteran’s organizations who are fighting the good fight to support our troops. It’s all just kinda perfect.

I have some thoughts about Memorial Day I’m going to share after the fact. I’m going to spend time this weekend basking in freedom, contemplating both the gratitude and the outrage.

It’s just occurred to me that I’ve had two opportunities in the last 24 hours to potentially thank a veteran. Groups of older guys. I didn’t think to ask ’em at the time, but now I’m gonna be on the lookout. I encourage you to do the same. See how it feels, and lemme know.
