Memorial Day weekend we dust off the grill, break out the lawn chairs, and head downtown to the first parades of the year. But wait! Memorial Day isn’t just the unofficial start of summer. It’s a day to remember those who have made an extraordinary sacrifice in the service of their country and local community. Busted Halo’s® Virtual Memorial Day Retreat guides you through moments of reflection and thanksgiving for the soldiers, police officer and firefighters who have given their own lives in the service of others.

GETTING STARTED
Take a few moments to appreciate the rights and freedoms that are important to you:

• Drive or walk around your town paying special attention to the police and fire stations, flags 
• waving, and memorial ribbons for soldiers serving abroad
• Reflect on having the right to vote, practice your own religion, and gain an education
• Finally, remember that women and men have given their lives to defend these rights and freedoms

Now, settle into the moment…

• Find a silent or peaceful place
• Close your eyes and breathe deeply
• Recognize that God is with you

PRAYER
Loving God, Jesus told us…
