Hello friends!
Memorial Day weekend is typically the “official start of summer!” When we lived in Illinois it was the official start to “wearing white!” Now, living in FL, you can wear shorts, sandals, AND white any time of year – one of the great things about FL. And of course, who doesn’t love the 3-day weekend along with beach time and BBQs with your friends?
But there is more to it than that.
Marion’s dad was a WWII Veteran and many of our friends have served or currently serve in the military, thus this day is very special to us.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday honoring those military people who died while serving in the armed forces. My dad lost many friends, as we are sure many of you did as well.
All gave some, but some gave all.
Take some time this holiday weekend to remember … and…to honor.
- Fly your flag.
- Attend a parade, speech, or service.
- Visit a cemetery and place flags.
- Wear a red poppy, an international symbol of remembrance.
- Visit your local VFW and thank some veterans.
- Observe a moment of silence at 3:00 PM, the national moment of remembrance.
We thank all of you who have served in the US armed forces for your service. Wishing you all a safe and healthy Memorial Day weekend!
Blessings from the Dr. and Dietitian,
Dr. Hauser and Marion
