"The whole world should stop and honor America's fallen heroes on Memorial Day," commented Father Richard Welch, CSSR, JCD, President of Human Life International, the world's largest pro-life, pro-faith, pro-family apostolate. "Not as a gesture endorsing any nation and its current political or economic policy, but in honor of brave men and women who gave their lives for others."
"Memorial Day is not about picnics and ballgames. But neither is it an unqualified endorsement of American society as we know it. These brave soldiers, sailors, fliers and marines died protecting their country and what it stood for. They died defending a way of life that they felt was worth dying for ... families, children, freedom, morality, values, responsibility."

I wanted to post a little reminder of the importance of this day! Not only do we remember all that the brave men and women of our military do and have done for us to protect us, we also remember all of our loves ones who have gone on home before us. It is a beautiful day to celebrate life, our country, and our loved ones.
May your Memorial Day be filled with peace.
