Memorial Day is for bringing that grief to the surface on a national scale. This day is the nation’s chance to pause and remember the brave lives that were sacrificed to defend the Constitution. Sacrificing a life and sacrificing years of time are two different things. It's not Veterans Day. Veterans Day is for those that are living.

Memorial Day is for the memories. Care really needs to be taken to consider the huge aspect of what is being expressed on that day: lives were lost and families were shattered through acts of war.

Period.
