Monday, May 27th is Memorial Day.  For most Americans the three-day weekend will mark the unofficial start of summer.  However, the solemn significance of the day is often forgotten.  It is actually a national day of remembrance for America’s military men & women who paid the ultimate sacrifice while defending freedom & liberty around the globe.

Today’s infographic from the U.S. Census Bureau reminds us that Memorial Day is about more than just cookouts and 3-day weekends, it’s about a path paved by others to enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. We hope you have a safe & happy Memorial Day weekend….and of course, Happy Friday!!!
