This weekend, as we celebrate Memorial Day, families acro America will gather in backyards and front porches, fire up the barbeque, kick back with friends, and spend time with people they care about.That is as it should be.But I also hope that as you do so, you’ll take some time to reflect on what Memorial Day is all about;on why we set this day aside as a time of national remembrance.It’s fitting every day to pay tribute to the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States of America.Still, there are certain days that have been set aside for all of us to do so.Veterans Day is one such day – when we are called to honor Americans who’ve fought under our country’s flag.Our calling on Memorial Day is different.On this day, we honor not just those who’ve worn this country’s uniform, but the men and women who’ve died in its service;who’ve laid down their lives in defense of their fellow citizens;who’ve given their last full measure of devotion to protect the United States of America.These are the men and women I will be honoring this weekend, and I know many of you are doing the same.There are any number of reasons America emerged from its humble beginnings as a cluster of colonies to become the most prosperous, most powerful nation on earth.There is the hard work, the resilience, and the character of our people.There is the ingenuity and enterprising spirit of our entrepreneurs and innovators.There are the ideals of opportunity, equality, and freedom that have not only inspired our people to perfect our own union, but inspired others to perfect theirs as well.But from the very start, there was also something more.A steadfast commitment to serve, to fight, and if neceary, to die, to preserve America and advance the ideals we cherish.It’s a commitment witneed at each defining moment along the journey of this country.It’s what led a rag-tag militia to face British soldiers at Lexington and Concord.It’s what led young men, in a country divided half slave and half free, to take up arms to save our union.It’s what led patriots in each generation to sacrifice their own lives to secure the life of our nation, from the trenches of World War I to the battles of World War II, from Inchon and Khe Sanh, from Mosul to Marjah.That commitment – that willingne to lay down their lives so we might inherit the bleings of this nation – is what we honor today.But on this Memorial Day, as on every day, we are called to honor their ultimate sacrifice with more than words.We are called to honor them with deeds.We are called to honor them by doing our part for the loved ones our fallen heroes have left behind and looking after our military families.By making sure the men and women serving this country around the world have the support they need to achieve their miions and come home safely.By making sure veterans have the care and aistance they need.In short, by serving all those who have ever worn the uniform of this country – and their families – as well as they have served us.On April 25, 1866, about a year after the Civil War ended, a group of women visited a cemetery in Columbus, Miiippi, to place flowers by the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen at Shiloh.As they did, they noticed other graves nearby, belonging to Union dead.But no one had come to visit those graves, or place a flower there.So they decided to lay a few stems for those men too, in recognition not of a fallen Confederate or a fallen Union soldier, but a fallen American.A few years later, an organization of Civil War veterans established what became Memorial Day, selecting a date that coincided with the time when flowers were in bloom.So this weekend, as we commemorate Memorial Day, I ask you to hold all our fallen heroes in your hearts, and if you can, to lay a flower where they have come to rest.
