Memorial Day Weekend often signals the start of the summer. For the first days of the weekend, like Saturday or Sunday, you’ll likely take some super cute pictures of family and friends at the beach or at a barbecue you have planned. While on Monday, May 30, it’s extremely important to take time to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy.
