This Memorial Day weekend, Americans are enjoying the warm weather, cookouts and all sorts of outdoor recreational opportunities as we spend time with family and friends. Statistics compiled by WalletHub tell us that 60 percent of Americans are eating at barbecues, beer sales will be higher than any day except the Fourth of July, 41.5 million people are traveling, and about 41 percent of us are taking advantage of Memorial Day sales. The graves hold members of the military who served from the Civil War to Operation Iraqi Freedom. It also is a contributing factor to veteran homelessness and elevated veteran suicide rates, estimated at up to 22 a day. This Memorial Day weekend is undoubtedly a joyful time for many millions of Americans across this great nation of ours.
