For all of you Americans out there, Happy Memorial Day weekend! Here is a really great site about the origins of Memorial Day. Since Kaleigh and Ashlyn attend an American curriculum-based school, they do not have school on Sunday (our first day of the school week here), so we will also have a three-day weekend. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the current war effort in Iraq, we all should take time to reflect and honor our soldiers (present and past) on this important holiday. Don't let it just be about a family picnic or going to the beach/lake. Make it matter...we are so fortunate to have our freedoms! You don't appreciate the freedoms you have until you no longer have them.
