CCHS Looks Back at Memorial Day

Every year on the last Monday in May, Americans acknowledge those who have sacrificed their lives for their country. Most students in schools around America are excused from classes because of this event called Memorial Day. Most people take this day off as an opportunity for some early summer fun, but here at CCHS we want to understand what this day is really about. Soldiers die every day fighting for their various countries, and this day is a day to commemorate them. CCHS students should use this day as a chance to pray for fallen troops and their families. Many of the CCHS students have forefathers that did die for this country, and they are important to remember as well. More people in America need to remember Memorial Day as a day for our fallen troops and their families, and we as Christians should be the first to recognize them.
