Not every patriotic holiday carries the same purpose and Memorial Day deserves our deepest reverence. Remembrance should never be rushed, confused, or taken for granted. Those who gave their lives for America deserve more than a passing thought - they deserve our pause, our gratitude, and our promise to never forget.
Memorial Day is not a celebration. It is a solemn day of remembrance for the men and women who died in service to our country.
This Memorial Day, let us remember what the day truly means.
The Forest-Blade will be closed Monday, May 25.
