Memorial Day is a Federal holiday through which the citizens of the United States commemorate the soldiers who have given their lives in service to our country.  Memorial Day is a time for Americans to reflect upon the very fact that freedom is not free but is purchased at a great price. 

Presently, Memorial Day should be celebrated more intently because of the fact that we have service personal who now stand in harms way protecting our lives and our freedom.  Let each of us take opportunity to thank those who have served and those who are now on active duty.  Let us show our gratitude toward them and their service.
