Memorial Day

Here is a way to celebrate Memorial Day by honoring those who sacrificed their lives at the Golden Crescent Gold Star Memorial Tribute on May 31st.

With the Memorial Day holiday and social distancing in mind, we've created a list of four things you can do over the weekend with family and friends.

The servicemen and women of our country make huge sacrifices to fight battles on our behalf and keep the freedoms we hold dear. One of those sacrifices is being away from their families and loved ones for long periods of time.

As Memorial Day opens the gate to summer, we all begin to plan our outdoor activities. Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages. And really, it wouldn’t be a summer holiday without some grilling.

Memorial Day was created to commemorate all the American servicemembers who have died while serving our country. With so many military men and women currently on dangerous overseas assignments, it's also a time to think about their sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their families back home.

The service men and women of our country make huge sacrifices to fight battles on our behalf and keep the freedoms we hold dear. One of those sacrifices is being away from their families and loved ones for long periods of time. The only thing that makes this sacrifice bearable for most is the incredible sweetness of coming home, even if it is only for a short leave.

Memorial Day is known as the unofficial start of grilling season. So does that mean you will be firing up your barbecue come May 28?
