Memorial Day

Yeah, I know. I'm a week late. But my friend Kristen posted a conversation she had with her daughters about the significance of the day, and I wanted to share it. Too many adults don't "get it" the way these young girls did. They view Memorial Day as the start of summer or a day for cookouts or a holiday from work--not a day to honor the memory of soldiers who have died to secure our freedom.
