Since 1868 Americans have celebrated Memorial Day to honor those who died while serving in our country's armed forces.

I see a lot of posts reminding people that today is not just about picnics and BBQs or day trips to the beach, but today Americans can have picnics and BBQs and take a day trip to a beach or a lake because of those who died serving our armed forces.

So today have a cheese burger, a hot dog, a beer, or soak in the sun for those who lost their lives so that you can celebrate today.

Don't get angry and argue with each other over the meaning of today because that is not what they died for. The men and woman of our armed forces gave their lives so you can eat that cheese burger, they gave their lives so you can drink that beer, and they gave their lives so that you can argue about the meaning of today, they gave their lives for your freedom.

Happy Memorial Day.
