On this Memorial Day, we honor those who have given their lives to protect our freedom and homeland. Originally known as "Decoration Day", Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971 and honors men and women who have died in battle.
While also the unofficial start of Summer and a long holiday weekend filled with barbeques and family gatherings, we at MyCEcourse.com pause on this day to give quiet thanks to the families who have served and sacrificed.
"American was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination, and on an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand" - Harry S. Truman
