In the spring, most of America is still slowly defrosting
from the harsh winter chill. Flowers begin blooming and the sun comes out just
a little bit more, with April showers sure to follow. A famous playwright and
poet perhaps said it best: “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.”
That spirit of youth gives way to the warmer temperatures and beautiful May
flowers. Amongst all the sunshine, greenery, and the excitement of children and
grandchildren commencing summer break, it may be easy to forget about a very
important national holiday that falls at the end of May: Memorial Day. For
most, it is perhaps just another legal holiday that doesn’t involve going to
work early on Monday morning. For some, Memorial Day is a sobering reminder of
the sacrifice a loved one or friend has given to protect our invaluable
freedom.
Every year, Memorial Day falls on the last Monday of May.
Traditionally, that last weekend involves several parades, fireworks, and trips
to the newly opened public pools and beaches. However, this holiday means so
much more. This Memorial Day weekend, take some time to remember those brave
individuals who have fought and died for our freedom. Renogy wishes you a fun
and safe Memorial Day.
