Odds are you know one of the families I'm referring to today on this Memorial Day. It takes a special person to sign up for something that may lead to loss of life. Family members who have suffered the loss of a hero ask why others say, "Happy Memorial Day." That empty seat at the table is a quiet reminder that a loved one is missing today.
My heart goes out to all the families who lost a mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend serving our country. Keep these families in your prayers. As much as you want to wish others a Happy Memorial Day, please respect the families who are hurting today. This day is really about them. They paid a high price for today's barbecue. Do something today to show your respect for their loss.
