Conservatives,
Although it's the one national holiday that historically includes cemetery visits, memorials and flag ceremonies, "modern" Memorial Day has sadly become a hollow observance that's more about cooking hot dogs than commemorating fallen heroes.
That point was driven home for me when during a conversation with a friend, she admitted that she didn't know the true and somber meaning of Memorial Day.
At that moment, I realized that something needed to be done to restore this most reverent of national holidays.
Born out of the Civil War and commemorated the final Monday of May, Memorial Day initially memorialized the Union and Confederate soldiers who never came home. But in the years since, the holiday has extended to all military men and women who have died in the name of freedom.
Unfortunately, for too many Americans, Memorial Day is just another "day off" and the unofficial start of summer.
