The folks at Texas A&M do this well. And Sarah writes about it in a touching and understanding way.
Memorial Day is not a somber holiday to me. It is a celebration of the things we have because of men and women like Captain Sean Sims. His son will have the knowledge that what his father did in Iraq was significant. We should share that significance and revel in it.
Memorial Day is for remembering. Remember the good done by the people we are honoring, not their deaths.
