USMC BDAY EVENT

Memorial Day. It’s one of the few holidays about absence. About the people we wish were here, but aren’t.

For many of us, the empty seats are real. Today asks something difficult of us: not simply to honor sacrifice, but to remember the people behind it. Today asks us to look grief in the face.

So call your buddies today, but don’t let today be the only day. Set a reminder in your calendar to reach back out on an ordinary day, too, when someone least expects it.

The empty seats around us deserve more than just one day of remembrance. Semper Fidelis.
