Coming out of the pandemic is a slow process. We have lost many gatherings and celebrations that we use to take for granted. It has shed light on other important aspects of life that we also took for granted. Let us all take the time this coming Memorial Day Weekend to remember our fallen veterans who lost their lives to protect our freedoms. Listen to the stories of our ancestors and family members. Watch a documentary describing the mindset of our forefathers and the obstacles they endured. In the end we can truly appreciate what they went through so we can freely express ourselves and carry on our daily lives in a peaceful and democratic way.
