If you're enjoying a day off
from work or school today - remember to stop and think about what we are all
celebrating.
Memorial
Day is a holiday for remembering the men and women who died while serving
in the country's armed forces. The
holiday was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated
after the Civil
War to honor the Union and Confederate soldiers
who died in the war. Now, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans
who have died while in the military service.
Somewhere
in the world, there is a soldier fighting each and every day for the freedoms
we take for granted. Somewhere in this country, there is a father, mother,
sister or brother mourning the death of a loved one who died protecting our
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We live in the great
nation we do today because of these brave men and women. We won’t ever be able
to thank them enough for what they stood for. God bless our troops – past and
present.
Happy Memorial Day from Texas
Orthodontics!
