Memorial Day is far more than a 3-day weekend with grilling and fishing on the schedule. A good reminder of the true meaning of Memorial Day can be found in the “Remember the Fallen” video below from the team at Black Rifle Coffee Company. Here’s the text that accompanied the 2-minute video, which was published a year ago to remember this special day.

On Memorial Day, we must stand united as a nation to honor and remember the indomitable spirit of sacrifice that flows through the veins of our heroes. It is a day when we humbly acknowledge the immeasurable cost paid by those brave souls who selflessly laid down their lives, so that we may cherish the freedoms we hold dear.

Their sacrifice echoes through the annals of history, resonating in the hearts of grateful generations. They fought not for personal glory or gain, but for the ideals of liberty, justice, and the pursuit of a brighter future. They bore the weight of duty, shouldering the burden of protecting our nation's honor and paid the highest cost. For that, we are forever thankful, and we will never forget.
