Proudvet365 - Memorial Day Reverberations
By Jack Sparrow on May 20, 2025
There’s a moment every Memorial Day that hits me square in the chest.
It’s not when the fireworks go off.
Not during the parades or the speeches.
It’s in the quiet.
When I’m alone with a name. A memory. A flag folded just so.
That’s when the reverberations begin.
Because Memorial Day isn’t about BBQs or long weekends.
It’s about echoes —
Of the ones who didn’t make it home.
Of the stories that never got finished.
Of the brothers and sisters whose last breath was in service to this flag.
🇺🇸 We Remember Because We Must
If you’ve worn the uniform, you already know:
Memorial Day carries a weight.
And not the kind of civilians that fully understand.
It’s the weight of that empty bunk.
The weight of the folded flag was handed to a mother.
The silence after a final radio call that never got answered.
This day isn’t about us — the ones who made it back.
It’s about the ones who didn’t.
Their Names Still Echo
You might hear those echoes in the voice of a Gold Star spouse.
In a pair of old boots tucked in the back of your closet.
In the way the wind hits a backyard flag just right.
Some of us hear them loud.
Others feel them deep in the bones.
But we all remember.
And this Memorial Day, we say: We will not forget. Not now. Not ever.

Final Thoughts
This Memorial Day, take a moment.
Say a name out loud.
Visit the cemetery.
Fly that flag like you mean it.
And if you wear something from our store, wear it with pride.
Because it’s more than a shirt. It’s a symbol.
Of service. Of memory. Of honor.
We remember. Always.
