29 May A Salute to Heroes
As we prepare for this day of outdoor celebrations, I’d like to take a moment to remember those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy each and every day here in America, and recognize the reasons for which these brave souls gave their lives. Such thoughts can often get lost in the midst of barbecues and icy beverages, but Memorial Day is, after all, about heroes.
They are the ones who have gone to battle to uphold the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If the grass into which you sink your toes this afternoon is on private property, remember them; if your family made roots in this country because it was a beacon of freedom, remember them; if you see a man or woman in uniform today, thank them. And please take a moment, if you are enjoying an icy beverage, to toast them.
We at the Gilded Fork are taking the day off to sit by the pool and relax (OK, some of us will be cooking, but we dig such things). Enjoy your holiday!
gilded fork, Memorial Day, heroes
