I'm not exactly sure why, but over the years my favorite holidays have shifted from "celebratory" holidays like 4th of July and Christmas to more "reflective" holidays like Thanksgiving, Easter and Memorial Day.
Regardless, this day doesn't pass for me without some momentary thought about the people who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
At the risk of being attacked for practicing jingoism, I still believe that it means something to be an American; and it's something pretty great.
But none of that can happen without people dying for that greatness.
So in the midst of having a few beers on a day off, I hope all of us take a moment of reflective time to recognize our great country and the people who died defending our values.
