Memorial Day is coming up….How do you spend the day? Do you pause for a moment of silence? Spend time with family? Volunteer? Rest?

I’m on my way to NJ this weekend to visit family. My dad, who served in the Navy, will sometimes recount stories of his days in the service, as we grill outside. During the day, I usually take a moment of silence and say a prayer for those who served and are serving in the military. This Monday, not only will I do that, but I will reflect on the ways in which I can better serve my country, starting with my community.

Any suggestions? Feel free to post comments!
