| Ryan used to be annoyed when people would said “Happy Memorial Day” or when they thanked him for his service on Memorial Day. Memorial Day is not a happy-welcome-summer day - it is a somber day in which we remember those who died while serving. It is also not a day for those currently serving or for previous Veteran’s - those each have their own days in which we should acknowledge and thank them. But today we remember those who are no longer with us. For us, we remember Ryan on Memorial Day. 🇺🇸 |

| The poppy on Memorial Day represents the first flower to grow after the ground has been disturbed. It became a Memorial Day symbol after being mentioned in John McCrae’s 1915 poem, “Flanders Field.” |

We love and remember Ryan today and aways. 💕 🇺🇸
