Memorial Day

The kids and I has a really good discussion of the meaning of Memorial day. They knew that a main theme was patriotism. But I did have to explain that is was specifically a rememberence of those that were killed in action, defending our country. Coco had made a comment that it was day to honor his Yaya, my dad. I had to explain to him that indeed my dad had served our country in the Marines but the day was about those that did not make it back. He got it. But I enjoy these discussion with the boys. I like that they are curious and want to know things.
