I have decided to put out a simple challenge. It is quite easy but one that I believe most Americans will shy away from.
No, it isn't about fundraising....come on, you know that is most likely the first thing that popped into your mind. I have complete confidence that you are up to my challenge! The question is will you accept my challenge?!
My challenge to you is this:
Ask people "What is the meaning behind Memorial Day!" Why do we celebrate Memorial Day?
If they don't know, then spend just one minute educating them about Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is to remember, to honor those who gave their all in service to our country.
If they do know, then tell them "That is outstanding!" Make sure they know how glad you are that they understand the importance of Memorial Day and why we celebrate it in the United States of America!!
I challenge you to honor their sacrifice, to honor their memory, to remember our Gold Star families by helping others to remember, to understand what Memorial Day is truly all about!!
Rather than complain out loud or think to yourself that nobody remembers....be proactive!
The mighty oceans are made up of single drops of water. You, a single individual, CAN make a difference! Help others to remember!
