Too often we mark our calendars for long weekends, thanks to federal holidays, without really thinking about what that holiday is for.
Memorial Day is one of those.
When school is still in session, students simply look at this as a day they know they won’t be in school.
Adults in the work-force, know it is a day off, and a time for a potential long weekend get-away.
As a community, we really don’t have any type of organized activity to honor those who have given their lives in service to this country.
