Memorial Day. What is it? Why is it important? Well, first of all, I want to be clear about something. You've heard me say this before, and I'm going to say it again, and it really, really is important. You're probably a nice person with values, and nice people with values like to make sure everyone feels included in something it's human nature it's what good people do

genuine goodhearted people do you're going to have to set that aside this day because memorial day

is not veterans day memorial day is not Veterans Day.

Don't do the thing so many people, good people, not insulting.

Don't do the thing they're tempted to do.

Wishing a Memorial Day as we honor the fallen and veterans and firefighters and first responder.

No.

Memorial Day is dedicated to those who have fallen in battle for this country and those who fell in

battle for this country deserve their own special day not watered down by niceness or political correctness

they deserve a day where we simply honor them.

We honor the families they left behind.

We honor the service.

We honor the sacrifice.

That's what Memorial Day is.

And it is important we do that for a variety of reasons.

One, it lets future generations know service and

sacrifice for your country is something your country honors and prioritizes. It's also important

because it helps the families who lost somebody. It helps them through their grief. It does. A mother, a wife, they want to see

this. Children who lost their father, they want to see and hear, father or mother, they want to

see and hear what dad did, what mom did was awesome and good and my country appreciates and honors it.

Memorial Day is a solemn day where we honor them.
