My favorite holiday!

My favorite holiday? That is a good question.

Thinking about my favorite holiday, it’s hard to pick one. I have some like Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, and Memorial Day. Taking a wild guess, I would say Memorial Day. Memorial Day is special to me. First, because I am a Navy veteran. As a veteran, I consider the sacrifices and services that my fellow shipmates and soldiers have made for our country.

I love America and am proud to be an American. Yes, I know it’s not perfect, but I still love America. For those who have served in the military, I salute you. These men and women are special. Some have even given their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have. We honor you, Veterans, and appreciate your service. You are the true superheroes that help protect America.

The other reason I enjoy Memorial Day is family and food. I like to eat and cooking a good steak, burger, or whatever on the barbecue is exciting. Most of us have time off from work, and it’s a season of rest. A time to kick back and watch your favorite movie on TV.

In summing up my thoughts, Memorial Day as a veteran means a lot. As a family man, I like spending time with loved ones and eating. What is your favorite holiday? Feel free to share.
