Freedom is not the natural state of man. It is the rare result of those willing to face death so others wouldn’t have to.
Memorial Day is not a celebration. It is a reminder. Behind every liberty is a name—carved in marble, buried in silence, carried in folded flags. These individuals didn’t just wear uniforms. They shouldered a burden no nation can ever fully repay. Their loss made comfort possible. Their absence secured stability.
America’s advantages were not won by luck or law. They were forced into existence by sacrifice. The cookout, the bonus day off, the freedom to scroll this post—none of it exists without someone else’s pain.
This is not a moment for noise. It is a day for reverence. To reflect on how little was asked of the living and how much was given by the fallen.
A country that forgets its dead weakens its own future. Memory is not tradition—it is obligation.
Observe it properly. Speak the names. Carry the standard forward.
