On this Memorial Day remember those who served, pray for those who are serving

To many, Memorial Day is a three-day weekend marking the beginning of summer. Others understand the holiday as a way to remember those who sacrificed their lives while serving in the Armed Forces.

Observed the last Monday of May, there are ceremonies and parades, as well as the placement of flags and laying of flowers on gravesites to honor the military heroes.

Since 1978, the first Sunday after Labor Day has been officially designated as Grandparents Day. 

More than a reason to sell greeting cards, this annual event recognizes the strength, love and guidance grandparents provide to families. Although the recognized date is Sept. 7 this year, any day is a great opportunity to celebrate grandparents.
