Day 5: What makes Memorial Day (or other similar holidays, for non-US Americans) important to you?
Memorial Day isn't just some day for BBQ on my lawn with all my friends. It's a time for me to remember all the friends that I know who are serving across the world, and the ones I would love to be able to invite to my house.
Eventually, I will graduate as an Army Officer in 2017, and earn a different meaning to Memorial Day.
It reminds me that we are not free by our own ideologies and laws, we are free by the service and sacrifice of more honorable people.
