Memorial Day is an attempt to remember and say “Thanks” to those who gave their best so that we could continue to enjoy our freedoms.
Our present commemoration of this day came out of the Civil War when in 1865 some ladies in Vicksburg, Miss., chose May 30 as a day to place flowers on the graves of their war dead. This soon spread North and South and came to be known as “Decoration Day.” Finally, it was called “Memorial Day” to honor the fallen of all our nation’s wars who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

  “Pay attention to what you’re doing.”

You have more than likely heard this at some time in your life. It pays to give your attention to what you are doing. 

Paying attention while driving is the concern of many people all the way to our lawmakers. Talking on a cell phone is one thing, but texting while driving can be criminal. I read that five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting.
