Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a time to remember those brave soldiers who gave their lives to protect the freedom of this country. Most of my memorial day was spent sleeping and watching movies all day. But I did get to see the town parade and the many speeches by famous politicians including President Bush. But the one thing that I'm glad I got to witness was the return of an Army from his sixth month tour of duty. I didn't know the man, I didn't even know his name but since he lived on our block, everyone was outside cheering and showing their thanks to the returning hero. It was truly a scene from Hollywood but I guess thats how it really looks in real life as well. But my memorial day served its purpose I got to sleep all day, and personally thank one of our soldiers.
