Find your own ways to serve to honor the fallen on Memorial Day: Retired Navy SEAL commander Mike Hayes
(snip)I’ve buried far too many friends and teammates to enjoy Memorial Day as America’s big BBQ. It’s emotional. I served 20 years as a Navy SEAL, and most of the memories are beautiful: pride, camaraderie, and brotherly love that will last a lifetime. But there is also an indescribable weight. The sound of bagpipes, however well intended, reflexively transports me back to Little Creek Chapel or Arlington National Cemetery – dozens of painful services there, year after year, the price of service for those who survive it.
Yes, Memorial Day is absolutely about remembering and honoring the fallen. Our fallen heroes fell to make this nation greater. The best way to honor their service is to mirror it. Serve each other. You can begin this morning. What real action can you take to improve our country and the lives of our fellow countrymen? What will you do?
