In many minds, Memorial Day signifies the start of summer, lounging by the pool, barbeques, and good times with friends and family. But as the holiday is just around the corner, take the time to remember the original reason for Memorial Day: celebrating and honoring those who gave their lives in military service for our country.
Whether you plan to travel for the weekend or spend time with loved ones in your own backyard, make an effort to show your support for those who have served and still serve this country in the military.
Putman wishes everyone a happy and fun-filled Memorial Day!
