Do you wave your flag in front of your home
Wear a lapel pin or an Old Navy t-shirt
Do you sip a slurpee or a snow cone
While waiting for your neighbor to grill you a dog
Do you hit the sales for all of the deals
Stop in at Wal-mart for some patriotic cookies
Do you buy a swimsuit in red, white and blue
And wait in the long line, thumbing through People
Do you drive past the cemetery
See the tiny flags waving in the wind
Do you think about the ones who rest
Beneath the decorated graves
Do place your hand on your heart
When the anthem plays
Do you exercise your right to vote
The one that they protect
Do you honor them for their sacrifice
While you enjoy the freedoms they provide
Do you remember
That they are the ones who died to keep your freedom alive
No matter how you choose to remember this Memorial Day- during a ceremony, a trip to Wal-mart, or time with friends in celebration of our many freedoms, take a moment to honor the fallen and to thank the ones still with us who fight for our country each and every day.
God Bless Our Troops.

Indeed. Without them we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today.
