On this Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day lets us remember all those who sacrificed their lives for this country. From the soldiers who willingly gave their lives, to the citizens who fought and died for their freedoms here. From the first responders who reach out to help others at risk to their own lives to the protesters who demand their freedom and wont let no one take it away from them. This great country has problems and will continue to if we forget where we came from. The blood of many, from citizens to slaves to soldiers and yes even politicians have been spilled for our freedom. Don't just memorialize them, remember them. Next time this country grinds to a halt because political parties only care about our differences remind them of our common ground, grounds that were fertilized with the blood sweat and tears of freedom.
