It is time to take a day for remembering those who sacrificed their lives so that we can live in freedom. We do not express our gratitude often enough for the freedoms that we have as citizens and not subjects. With the recent wars, good men and women have sacrificed their lives for the freedom to choose whom we will worship or not worship and for the premise that all men (and women) "are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness...."
So while you are sitting back perhaps eating a freshly grilled bratwurst and washing it down with a cold beer, remember those who have died to keep even some of your more simple freedoms, eating pork and drinking alcohol. Because if Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists had had their way, today might have been very different. Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. And if you choose to have a beer, raise a toast to those who have fallen keeping that freedom for you.
