in Quarantine. We stood indoors & made the best of our day with our George Forman grill👍🏾😉😁😄We grilled some burgers, hotdogs, and made shrimp skewers! Memorial day is more than just a cookout or reason to party for this family. We have ancestors, including my grandfather, who served in the military, so Memorial Day is a proud day for us to remember & honor them. To me, yesterday was also about saluting those who serve tirelessly on this Covid19 Frontline, like my father. My heart sinks, but I'm always humbled when I see him in a mask, shield, & wearing protective gear. People complain about wearing a mask for 30minutes (I am guilty of that too) & there are many who wear them all day. Just like the soldiers on the battlefield in the heat or cold, they take the proper precautions to help and serve this country. While many in the United States felt the need to end Covid on their own terms on yesterday; by not wearing masks or crowding areas in groups of over 25 people, I chose to stay home to honor our Heroes and flatten the curve. Sure there's nothing wrong with a little fresh air, but some people just don't care. We're all in this together, but we all have to be smart & do our part. Stop complaining about wearing masks. Stop complaining about NOT having graduations, when there were many who couldn't have funerals or father's who were NOT allowed to attend their child's birth. 👍🏾 @ Jersey City, New Jersey
