Memorial Day has always marked the beginning of summer to me. I know summer officially kicks off on June 21st but here in Michigan, the end of May = absolutely, positively no more snow. (That's not a challenge, weather man!) As the wife of a Marine, I also want to underline that Memorial Day is way more significant than the start of warmer weather for us frigid northerners. It's about remembering the people who died while serving in the armed forces and it's a day to celebrate the ultimate sacrifice that our troops are prepared to make for our rights and freedoms.
Let's mix patriotism with a dash of summer fun this Monday and celebrate the holiday in style!
