Reflection of Memorial Day 2018 Celebrated In Kershaw and Lancaster Counties

Freedom Was Not Free

Memorial Day - legal holiday in the United States, last Monday in May, commemorates the members of the United States armed forces who were killed in war.  Formerly known as Decoration Day. (Webster's College Dictionary 2010)

Will here it is Tuesday morning, the day after Memorial Day.  In observance of Memorial Day SERVPRO of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties employees were able to be with their families, and friends, thus creating a three day weekend.  As with the rest of our team here at SERVPRO of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties I too spent my day with family. 

We traveled to Georgia where our family has a long history of military involvement.  The family being strong in faith, family, and country, shared prayers, hugs, and tears. 

As one travels throughout the south, out of nowhere a memorial in the shape of a headstone stands out in the open.  These would be landmarks where battles were fought, and lives lost.  There are movies recounting various battles where lives were lost, and heroes who humbly stood out, many under horrific circumstances.

My father, and brother served, and my son is serving.  Each of us knows someone who has, or is serving, and each of us knows someone, or of someone who never made it home.

At SERVPRO of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties we ask that as you reflect on the Memorial Day of 2018 you continue to remember that our freedom was not free.  That you lift in your hearts those that kept us free, and those that are still battling to keep us free.
