A Call for Memorial Day Writers: Please Send Us Your Tribute

We’re going to start a Memorial Day tradition here at The Recovering Politician.

Too often, we think of Memorial Day for its picnics, newly-opened swimming pools, and brighter, lighter fashion statements.

But its very name demands, Memorial Day should be one in which we honor and remember the men and women who bravely served our country in uniform.  As the Scripture instructs, there is no greater love than to give one’s life on behalf of his or her neighbor.

Accordingly, next Monday, May 30, The Recovering Politician will be dedicated exclusively to tributes to these great patriots.  The RP, the contributing RPs, the Friends of RP, and the RP staff will all be sharing stories of their friends, family and loved ones who served our country.

And we are opening up the site to our readers as well.  Please send us your story (from 100 to 1000 words) about a brave loved one whom you are remembering this Memorial Day.  If you have a picture — particularly one of them in uniform — please send along as well.  We will publish all of the appropriate entries on Monday.

Please email the story and picture to Staff@TheRecoveringPolitician.com by Saturday night, May 28,  at 11:00 PM EDT, and we will share it Monday on The Recovering Politician.

Thanks in advance for joining us in this Memorial Day Tribute — putting the Memorial back in Memorial Day.
