Honoring Memorial Day
Respect and Reflection
As we approach Memorial Day, it's important to remember that this day is not about self promotion or personal gain. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Here are some respectful ways to commemorate their memory without making it about ourselves:
Attend a Memorial Service: Participate in a local ceremony or virtual event to show your respect, not to showcase your presence.
Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects quietly by visiting a war memorial or a veteran's cemetery, without turning it into a photo opportunity.
Support Gold Star Families: Offer genuine support to families who have lost loved ones in service, rather than using it as a platform for your own visibility.
Educate Yourself and Others: Learn and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed, focusing on their bravery rather than your role in sharing the story.
Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 p.m. local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance, not for show but out of genuine respect.
Volunteer: Dedicate your time to veteran organizations or causes that support our service members and their families, keeping the focus on their needs rather than your contributions.
This Memorial Day, let’s commit to reflection, gratitude, and truly honoring the memories of our fallen heroes. It's about their sacrifice, not our self-promotion.

🌟 #MondayMindset: Honoring with Heart and Action 🌟
Today, as we in the United States observe Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Jennifer M. Granholm once said, "Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops and once-a-year Memorial Day Ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well."
This day challenges us to not only remember the fallen but to act with gratitude, empathy, respect, and a spirit of sacrifice in our daily lives. 🕊️
✨ Gratitude isn’t merely about saying 'thank you.' It's about recognizing the sacrifices made by others on our behalf, both big and small, and acknowledging them in our daily actions.
💙 Empathy involves stepping into the shoes of others — understanding their struggles and joys alike. It’s about connecting with the spirit of those who served by extending understanding to those still with us.
🤝 Respect is our foundational pillar — it dictates how we treat each other every day. To truly honor our heroes, we must treat all lives with dignity and honor — continuously building a legacy of respect that outlives us.
🔥 Sacrifice involves putting aside our immediate wants for the future welfare of others. Just as our fallen heroes have shown, true strength lies in what we give, not what we take. This Memorial Day, let us remember that our own sacrifices—no matter how small they may seem—can contribute to the greater good.
This Memorial Day, let’s pledge to make these values a constant in our lives, not just in memory of those who have fallen, but as a tribute to the ideals they fought for. Let's honor the dead best by treating the living well — every single day.

Memorial Day
We have much to be thankful for as citizens of this country.
Memorial Day provides an opportunity to be thankful for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country while serving in the US Armed Forces.
Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was held on May 30th, 1868, and remained on That date until 1971, when it was changed to the 4th Monday of May and officially became Memorial Day.
Memorial Day traditions involve marking the graves where those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice are eternally laid to rest. It is also a day for parades and cookouts. For many, it is also the first weekend of summer.
Several years back, I had the opportunity to visit Normandy American Cemetery, located in Colleville-su-mer, France. Standing on those grounds took my breath away. To me, it was sacred ground.
The Normandy American Cemetery is adjacent to the cliff overlooking Omaha Beach. Omaha Beach was one of four beaches used on June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched Operation Overlord, or D-Day.
I have always wondered about the mindset of those men on that day. They had to jump out of an airplane or disembark a ship in the face of heavy enemy activity.
They had to have fear, but they also had to understand that the only way to make it back home was to take that first step and fight.
The Generation that endured the hardships of this time is known as the Greatest Generation.
One of the things that made this generation great was that they understood the consequences.
All of our choices have consequences.
You can choose not to act on your dreams but must embrace the consequences.
You can build up that wall that keeps out the fear of uncertainty, but that is also the same wall that keeps out the joy you will experience having your dream become your reality.
As you take time to pause this weekend in remembrance of Memorial Day, remember your dreams. Remember how they have excited you. Never forget those times when you told yourself that one day, you would take that step,
Today is that day.
Don’t let the fear of the unknown hold you back.
Take action, and destroy the walls holding you back.
Your dream is your Kingdom; now is the time to build that bridge.
Be Bold!
