Happy Memorial Day from The Service Station Blog! While I’m sure many of you are enjoying a nice 3 day weekend because of this holiday, let’s not forget what Memorial Day is all about.

God bless all the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their (our!) country and their families. Memorial Day isn’t just a day to get together with family and grill out, go out on the lake, or have an excuse to use your brand new picnic table. It’s a time to remember fallen soldiers and their families.

I’ve seen this article floating around on Facebook, and I thought some of you might be interested in the history behind leaving coins on headstones.

God bless you, and God bless America!
