When I was growing up in McGregor, that is what we did every year. In high school, Tracy, Carie, and I often sang for the Memorial Day Service. I enjoyed being able to show my appreciation to the veterans in our community that way. It's hard to describe the way I felt at those services. Men and women I'd known my whole life were being honored for the sacrifices they made when they served. I could see sadness in their faces as they remembered friends who had given their lives. It was a solemn time.
As the service ended however, the mood would lighten. We would run into old friends who had come to town for the holiday. We'd stop at the pancake breakfast and visit with everyone there. There would be a family picnic and lots of fun on the farm with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
Even though I couldn't be at the Service in McGregor or spend time with my family this weekend, I don't want to forget what today is all about.
Thank you to all of the veterans from today and the past. Thank you for defending our freedom.
