Memorial Day
Picture this … the weather is sunny and 75, the kids (and Uncle Joe) are doing cannon balls in the pool, the grill is fired up and cooking burgers and hot dogs, and you’re enjoying your favorite
There are a few ways to honor this day without leaving your home. Here are some suggestions:
• Watch an inspiring movie (“The Great Escape,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Platoon,” “Forrest Gump,” etc.)
• Write an inspiring social media post about the importance of Memorial Day or to show your support for a loved one.
cold beverage while listening to music in the background. We call this a normal Memorial Day weekend here in Southwest Florida, but we often forget its true meaning. For every freedom we have each day, there is a solider in Arlington National Cemetery who gave their life and another overseas right now fighting for us to protect those rights. The freedom to enjoy a day off is often unacknowledged as a day to honor our fallen soldiers and the ultimate sacrifice they made to defend our country. Memorial Day began as “Decoration Day,” which was originally focused toward decorating the graves of fallen soldiers in the Civil War. After World War I, its name was changed to “Memorial Day” to honor all the fallen soldiers in all American wars. Although the dates vary, Memorial Day can now be expected on the last Monday of May.
• Say a quick prayer for the fallen soldiers and their families.
• Donate to the Veterans Association of America.
• Fly your American flag at your home.
Many take this day to relax, and we think that is great. Enjoy your time off, family, and friends. But, if you can, take a moment to think about the ultimate sacrifice that some have given, consider all of the lives that were lost in the line of duty, and take a moment to thank them in your heart for their service to this country! If you believe in the Power of Prayer like I do, say a prayer. May God Bless the United States of America.

Directions 1. Heat grill to high. Season room-temperature steak with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil. Any oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, will work. 2. Trim bottom inch of asparagus. Season with salt, pepper, and remainder of oil. 3. Cut steak into four portions and grill for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Skirt steak is thin and will cook quickly. 4. Let steak rest for 10 minutes. While it’s resting, grill asparagus for 6 minutes, turning once. 5. Sprinkle cheese and crushed red pepper on asparagus. Serve alongside steak.
