Comments 1 comment

While this holiday weekend is being mark by cookouts, yard sales, graduations, and serves as the “unofficial” kick-off of a mask-less summer (if you’ve been vaccinated), it’s good to stop and take a moment or two to understand and think about what the Memorial Day holiday is all about.
