I wasn't able to make any comments this past week about Memorial Day, but I think it one of our grandest holidays, and one that should be promoted far more and marketed far less.
Army Private Jason Little was 20 years old when he was killled in Iraq in January. Jason lived with his parents when he was home about 4 miles from my house in Climax, MI. I've made a very big deal about him since he died (especially in my home but also in the local paper). I'm very thankful for Jason's life and his parents.
Remembering Jason was probably what a lot of the locals here were doing at the parade last week. I tried to make a big deal about the holiday to Karsten and Haddon.
Here is a link you may find interesting. It is from the Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal and speaks to Memorial Day.
