Memorial Day Weekend is a time for remembering and honoring those who lost their lives in the service of the country. As we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we pause for a moment as we reflect on their lives. These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation with a long history of honor. 137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of the most cherished observances. If anything, these great sacrifices taught us to do things once thought impossible to do. See here for history dating back thousands of years:
