Our Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember that many have risked their lives, and some died, to preserve our freedom here in America. There is currently a lot of strife internally right now, and also a lot of distraction from what is going on internationally, and some people look at this state of affairs as an excuse to denigrate the worth of this nation.
If you are one of those people: Don't!
There is a reason why people apply for citizenship more here than anywhere else, and even more people risking their lives to sneak in here. And for all the obvious encroachments on the freedoms that are admittedly depressing to watch, we still have more liberty than most places. It gives us wiggle room where other nations and their peoples are more locked down, driven in, and stuck without serious revolutionary churn. Witness Europe and the beginnings of their new crusade: It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
So remember the freedoms won for you on this day, and prepare to defend them again, while it is still easy to do so. And if you are one of those who has defended us or defends us still - Thank You!
