Our Memorial day means never forgetting about those who fought for us in war and those who haven't deserved to die. No one knows when or how they are going to die, it's all a mystery that God gives us.I don't think memorial day should be just about people who have died in war but also for people who have mean't the most to us but have gone away too soon. Military men and women have protected our country for many years and without them who knows where this country would be. Many soldiers faught in war trying to protect their homeland. They tried but lost their lives to soon and this day is for us to remember all the brave souls we have lost but celebrate how much they achieved in their life.
When I was in third grade I lost my grandfather. We weren't really close to him but we stilled loved him because he was our grandfather. I feel bad that I didn't get to know him better, I feel bad saying I wasn't close to my dad's dad. On memorial day I try and ask my dad what he was like so I can have a better image of him and I try to remember all of the good times I did get to share with my grandpa. Other families have lost loved ones also whether it was because of war or because of sickness/old age. Not a day goes by that we don't rememeber them and this day is given up to their lives lost and to celebrate their greatest accomplishments.
