I laughed as I worked on my PowerPoint for class. I have been recreating all my presentations this year to make them more impactful. In order to avoid the problems of text changing, I create the text into graphics. If I make a mistake, problem is, I cannot fix it on the spot, but at least I know what it will look like without having to make adjustments. When I looked at this, it reminded me of the day itself, Veterans Day. We often see holidays simply as a day off, but forget the meaning behind them. We lose the message in the excitement of having the day off. However, we should always remember the meaning behind holidays and other celebrations for that matter. On birthdays we should celebrate our parents who gave birth to us, on holidays remember those who we should honor on these days and on religious holidays, remember the purpose behind it. Our commercialization of these days is what has truly allowed us to be lost in the madness that ends up like my page of text. Holidays are great, but we don't need holidays to celebrate those we love and remember those important to us and to our nation. The next time there is a celebration or a holiday, let's pause to truly appreciate why we celebrate. To our veterans, we thank you, as our freedoms we have today are because of all the sacrifices that you and your family have made for this nation.
