Memorial Day: Cultural Icon We the people are united by a common culture, one for which brave citizens fight and die. Culture is purposeful and must be nurtured - this is true for businesses, for communities, and for our nation. Memorial Day is this: a uniting nurturing of our national culture, a communal honoring of those who have given their lives that our culture and values might endure. This culture and these values are enshrined in our Constitution, the guiding principles for this the greatest of nations. On Memorial Day you might visit a cemetery or local graveyard and contemplate how you - yes you - could nurture our culture. I'd imagine that if we each work to nurture our ever-evolving culture we might be more united as a people. Wouldn't this be wonderful? Please say thank you to each flag-decorated grave marker you see. -George PS: what's in a name? A burial ground is a generic term often applied to unorganized fields of graves. A 'graveyard' is organized, as we have near churches and synagogues. 'Cemetery 'is based on the Ancient Greek for 'sleeping place' and is properly used to designate ground dedicated to a particular group, for example as the Arlington National Cemetery is for our military.

Our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families. Wishing everyone a peaceful Memorial Day. Let us remember and honor their courage, dedication, and selflessness. May their sacrifices never be forgotten, and may we always cherish the gift of liberty they have secured for us. #memorialday #memorialdayweekend #realestate #realtorlife #realestatebroker #realestatelife #realestateagent #realtor  #realestateinvesting #realestateadvice #robertslackllc #robertslackrealestate
