MEMORIAL DAY 2026

Well another year gone!  Where does the time go?  It's Memorial Day Weekend once again, and I believe school is out.  We tend to think that this Holiday weekend is all about the kids and school out, the first long weekend for the family to enjoy the weekend, BUT Memorial Day is not about the fun of this weekend. No, it's Memorial Day, more or less Remembering and Honoring the fallen comrades, heroes and even the family members of your own, that have given their life for this wonderful  country USA that we live in.  

The Day actually originated after the Civil War, over 150 years ago and  was on the last day of May.  After World War I, the day expanded to all American service members who died in any war, which continued through WWII and so on....It became a National Holiday in 1970s when it was moved to the last Monday in May.  There is an actual time at 3:00pm for a minute of silence to reflect on the sacrifices of the fallen.

In my personal family, I still have active Service Men who I appreciate and love dearly.  To my brothers, passed and living, you have meant so much to me, the sacrifice you have made does not go unnoticed.  

Here at TQ, we honor all service men and their families by giving them an extra 10% discount with ID.  This to me is not enough, but we do all we can as a small business.  I hope that this Holiday you visit a gravesite, visit a Veteran, let them know they are not forgotten and that we love and appreciate them with all our hearts while they are still alive.  Enjoy your families and time together, not just this weekend, but every day.  GOD BLESS!
