Happy Memorial Day weekend!  A royally worthy celebration.  This video warms my heart.  Remembering the sacrifice of others, serves to enrich the human soul and the human behavior.

WHY MEMORIAL DAY



photo by maf04




To Melanie House, "every day is Memorial Day and we don't need a special day to remember [John], because he's part of our lives every day." (news story)     House's husband John, who is also son James' father, was killed in action in Iraq over 10 years ago.   This Memorial Day we the public honor John House's sacrifice and so many like him and his family.
