In honor of Memorial Day, we went to a memorial service this morning. It was quite different from our tradition of Sunset in Memorial Park, but still a great way to remember why we actually have the holiday. One of the guest speakers shared a story of an amazing young man that gave his life for our country, despite letting his disabilities get in the way of doing what he felt passionate about. His sacrifice saved the lives of many others. The speaker also told the story of GI Joe, a pigeon that saved the lives of many men as well. It was a unique experience to see pigeons being released over the cemetery. It was a wonderful tribute to all those who serve or have served.
