Memorial Day

Gorgeous day! Wrapped with warm weather, quietude in surroundings early this morning; roads are clear; driving isn’t a problem at all, there’s no rush and one freely takes his time. Invitations from friends and other relations a cookout in the yard or dining in a restaurant; a common tradition to American people, a wonderful experience, a day to remember. Our major print, news and TV networks, show varied events, places, and peoples; with distinctive features of the celebration that trace back history and meaning to recall. As singularly punctuated with solemnity those veterans in the army and other dignitaries, along with the president of this beautiful country, America: the land of free, unity and diversity. Names engraved in the annals of history are those heroes who served in this country, they offered their lives for love and loyalty, indisputably, heroic giants of the century. Across the years, memories of the past continue to serve as a treasure trove, a wellspring of thought and inspiration; indeed, a living legacy worthy of imitation. Kudos and more power to these people though they’re all gone into the silent land their spirit, mem’ry and legacy to everyone unites the whole nation for love and remembrance.
