What is Memorial Day?!


“Memorial Day is about much more than barbecues and long weekends,” Mayor Thomas M. Menino told a solemn crowd assembled at Mount Hope Cemetery in Mattapan yesterday.

“It’s about honoring the soldiers who left the comforts of their own homes to defend the nation we love and the freedoms we cherish. Our veterans have given us so much, and the very least we can do is honor their sacrifices.”

FREEDOM definitely is NOT FREE!!! I am grateful to live in this beautiful Land of America and very THANKFUL for those who have fought for our country!! What a GREAT day to stop and remember ALL of the GREAT people who have passed on before us!!
