As a retired Army family we truly appreciate the sacrifice of our fallen military servicemen and women. I’m grateful we have a special day set aside once a year to remember and pay tribute to them. I love hearing their stories on TV, seeing the beautiful waving flags that always bring a tear to my eye, and listening to the patriotic music. I also love all the memories we’ve shared as a family on this day and celebrating the first days of Summer. Remembering family members who have passed is also an important part, but this day is very difficult for me.
