=== Memorial Day's Meaning (01:14) ===

[00:00:00]  Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start of the summer.
[00:00:03]  It's a reminder, one that hits a little deeper if we actually take the time to think about it.
[00:00:08]  Because the truth is, freedom isn't free.
[00:00:11]  It never has been.
[00:00:12]  The barbecues, the beach trips, the laughter with family and friends, all of it is possible because brave men and women, generation after generation, put on a uniform and stepped into danger.
[00:00:24]  And many of them didn't make it back.
[00:00:27]  Memorial Day is for them.
[00:00:29]  For the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could live in peace and liberty.
[00:00:34]  It started after the Civil War, with Americans decorating the graves of fallen soldiers.
[00:00:39]  And it grew into a national tradition of remembrance, not just for one war, but for all who gave their lives in defense of this great country.
[00:00:48]  This day isn't about politics.
[00:00:49]  It's not about left or right.
[00:00:51]  It's not about conservative or liberal.
[00:00:53]  It's about gratitude and honor.
[00:00:56]  So while you're with your family and friends today, at the park, around the grill, in the pool, watching the kids run around, just take one quiet moment.
[00:01:04]  Reflect.
[00:01:05]  Say thank you in your own way.
[00:01:07]  And maybe remember this.
[00:01:08]  The best way to honor those who gave everything is to live a life worthy of their sacrifice.
