On this episode of the Christopher Scott Talk Show Podcast:
Today’s Memorial Day, what does it mean, who’s it for, what’s it about? For a lot of people Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer. Barbecues, swimming, picnics, parades, family get togethers. All things that are a regular occurrence on Memorial Day.
Like a lot of holiday’s the meaning gets lost in the activities. What’s it really about? I guess you could say it’s a day of remembrance, but it’s also a day to give thanks. Thanks for what?
Thanks for the 1.3 million service men and women, Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen, the 1.3 million warriors that have died defending this nation. 1.3 million. If those men and women stood shoulder to shoulder they’d span from New York City all the way to Richmond Virginia. 1.3 million, that’s the population of San Diego.
Many of them are buried in Arlington National Cemetery. A cemetery that covers 624 acres. What’s the saying, "freedom isn’t free", and that’s the cost. 1.3 million. 624 acres.
That’s what Memorial Day is about.
