Soule: Mornings Like Ours: A Memorial Day Reflection

No matter how bad my day has been, my spirits soar when I walk up our farm road, sunlight filtering through the arching trees like light through stained-glass windows.

This Memorial Day, those simple pleasures feel like something to hold close. A peaceful morning, a job we love, animals who trust us—none of it comes free. It was bought by people who never came home to mornings like ours. We owe them a quiet kind of gratitude.

This weekend, we remember those whose sacrifice made that good fortune possible.
