You must be a very proud mom with two wonderful and brave grown up children. I am a military brat, as they say. I was also married to an officer in The Air Force. So, I too, will never forget what memorial means. Thank you so much for commenting about this very important day for our veterans and their families.
I was fortunate to get my dad back after two tours in Vietnam and one in Korea. I think of those who did not get to come home to their families — every Memorial Day…and every day in between…Thank you for reminding us of that… If only we would remember at the voting booth more often!
I am so glad your dad came back and yes, I wish we would remember what war means and the senseless loss of wonderful men and women when we are at the voting booth! Karen

With two military kids, I guess I’ll never get confused over the meaning of this day.
