Oscar Mike Radio Memorial Day 2026
Beschreibung
Around every Memorial Day, I make my way to Mount Vernon Cemetery in Abington with a cigar in hand and a heavy sense of gratitude. It’s become a personal ritual for me. One rooted in remembrance, reflection, and respect for the Marines and service members who never made it home or who carried burdens after service that eventually claimed them.In this special 2026 Memorial Day edition of Oscar Mike Radio, I wanted to share what this day truly means to me. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend, cookouts, or the unofficial start of summer. It is a day to pause and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. As I walk through the cemetery and see the flags placed beside headstones, I think about fellow Marines from my time in the Corps, brothers and sisters we’ve lost over the years, and the families forever changed by their sacrifice.I also reflect on those we lost after they came home, veterans who fought battles long after taking off the uniform. Their stories matter too, and they deserve to be remembered alongside every fallen service member who answered the call to serve.One of the things that gives me hope every year is seeing communities come together to honor the fallen. Ceremonies, volunteers placing flags, families attending memorial events, and young people learning why these traditions matter remind me that remembrance is still alive. Freedom has a cost, and Memorial Day is a reminder that generations of Americans paid that price for all of us.I encourage everyone to take even a few moments this Memorial Day to stop, reflect, and honor those who gave everything. Visit a cemetery, attend a ceremony, say a prayer, or simply take a quiet moment of gratitude. We owe them that much.To all the Gold Star families, veterans, volunteers, and communities who continue to keep these memories alive, thank you.
