Memorial Day is a day of reverence.
Memorial Day is a day of solemn remembering; and Memorial Day is a day of thankfulness for those who have given their lives in the cause of freedom; our freedom.

Memorial Day is separate and apart from any other day – in that we secure this day to remind ourselves how significant a cost is the price of freedom.
Memorial Day is a day we pay our deepest respects to those who died to provide it.
