Remembering The Reason For Memorial Day Memorial Day is the day we remember and honor those who lost their lives fighting for our nation. The men and women we remember on Memorial Day demonstrated the highest form of faith in the triumph of good over evil. Just as they had a mission, we, too? have a mission: To teach the young people of today to respect America's values. History teaches us that our faith in freedom - readily backed up by our resolve to defend freedom - has made America - and the world - a better place.
