Your editor at Must Read Alaska will be keeping a light work schedule on Memorial Day … Might work six hours instead of 12.
Memorial Day, for many of us, is a reminder of the profound cost of freedom, and it’s how we honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to the nation.
We can sure make it a “happy Memorial Day,” and yet, it is also a solemn day of reflection, gratitude, and a time to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of those who laid down their lives to protect the values and liberties that define America.
Beyond the barbecues and parades, Memorial Day calls us to pause and pay tribute to the fallen, and especially to teach the next generation about the price of peace and the enduring legacy of those who served with honor.
We’ll be back in full swing on Tuesday, ready for the fray.
