Memorial Day

Freedom isn't free, writes a Patch blogger.

Those who have lost loved ones or friends in the United States Armed Forces understand that Memorial Day is not only a holiday for barbeques and celebrations but it is a time for traditions that honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

There is no time limit one can put on grief, yet there are ways to honor and celebrate the lives and legacies of those we have lost.

Lets not count the numbers, but remember the lives. Every day we should remember the lives lost. We also need to support the men and women who serve our nation to protect our freedom.
