Memorial Day

A very important day has come again. That day is Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day to honor those who died fighting in the war as soldiers. I have a brother that was in Iraq so soldiers are even more important to me than they were before he went. I wrote an essay for school on Memorial Day. I won first place in the contest out of about 62 kids. They will be reading it at the end of the parade on Monday at the LaFayette Vetrans Cemetary. I strongly encourage you to go and listen to it be read. I will recieve a 100 dollar savings bond. I'm really happy that I won of course but I know that what I wrote about means more and that people knowing the real meaning is way more important. So this year when Memorial Day comes, remember, Memorial Day is sooo important that we really need to remember the reason we have it and that is to remember, honor, and love those who fought, fought hard, lived and died, for the United States of America!
