Memorial Day.
“Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves.” – Carol Lynn Pearson
Traditions. I love ‘em, don’t you? Thoughtful and solid Americanisms like flag waving on Memorial Day, parade down Main Street, music and fireworks to elevate patriotism in us all.
Most of us believe it a privilege to applaud our military men and women, honor with a moment of silence. We visit memorials, lay flowers, shed a tear or two.
