Memorial Day isn't just about barbecues and clearance sales, as Erin Lawler Patterson, host of The Goodness Chick, passionately explains. In this heartfelt episode, Erin is joined by her longtime friend Robin Leonard Martin, who shares the poignant story of her brother Jared Michael Leonard. Jared, who served in the Army, paid the ultimate price for his country on Memorial Day itself.
Robin’s reflections offer a sobering reminder of the true meaning behind the holiday – it's a time to honour those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. Robin recounts how her understanding of Memorial Day transformed from a mere day off to a deeply personal day of remembrance following her brother's death. She encourages people to balance celebration with education, teaching children about the significance of the day without losing the joy of gathering with loved ones.
Erin and Robin discuss the importance of acknowledging those who have lost family members in service, suggesting simple gestures like sending a text or attending a parade can mean the world to grieving families. The conversation also touches on the misconceptions around saying 'Happy Memorial Day', urging listeners to approach the holiday with respect and awareness.
