True Meaning of Memorial Day 2021

Memorial Day weekend is often associated with the start of the summer season here in America. With all the stores advertising Memorial Day sales, many people have forgotten the true meaning of Memorial Day holiday. This mixed media digital photo painting reminds people to remember all who are serving to keep our wonderful country free.,

I want to wish a Happy Memorial Day to all the veterans. Although I’m not a veteran (draft number 304), many of my friends served in the armed forces. Too many of them are printed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall located in the Mall. When I graduated high school in 1972, the service was not a popular option. Still, I was very proud of my time working for DoD for almost a decade as a civilian contractor technical writer and know that this day still means something special to my former co-workers.

Be safe and have a great Memorial Day. Just take a moment and remember the real reason why we celebrate this holiday weekend.
