Importance Of Memorial Day To Me

What Memorial Day means to me
People think Memorial Day just like any other day and kids see it as a day off from school I guess that is true but there is so much more to it these brave men and women put down their life to protect mine. They know that it’s a day to remember soldiers who have died to protect our nation. But the fact is I know these soldiers were brave and risked their life to save others and do the things that we are not willing to do.
