Before you head out to Crab Island for the weekend…
Before you fire up the grill…
Before you head out to see fireworks, enjoy the sun, and soak in the unofficial start of the summer season on the Emerald Coast, let’s remember what the holiday is all about.
Memorial Day is the day we honor those military members who sacrificed everything in order to keep us and our country safe and free. Although it began as a Civil War remembrance, it now encompasses every conflict and all soldiers who gave their life for us.
When you see a veteran or active duty service member, tell them, “Thank you.”
If you overhear a military spouse talking about the recent deployment or the next move, say, “Thank you.”
In between flipping the burgers and getting the sand out of your flip flops, take a moment of silence and simply whisper, “Thank you.”
Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend and extra time in the sun and water. It’s a day we honor the fallen, remember their sacrifice, and thank them and their families for doing the hardest job of all – defending freedom.
This Memorial Day, let’s remember what the day is all about.
Here at Rising Star Real Estate, we want to thank all our military members, both active duty and veteran, and their families for the sacrifices they make, the burden they carry, and the sorrow they feel when the ultimate price is paid. We honor you and the fallen this Memorial Day.
