Utah Gov. Spencer Cox reminded a crowd of several hundred about why Memorial Day is celebrated at the Captiol to commemorate Monday morning.
SALT LAKE CITY — As the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day is often celebrated as a chance to get outside, recreate and barbecue with family and friends, maybe even get a great deal on a mattress or new suit.
"The reason we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world is because we were the first and only nation that was formed on an idea," Cox said. "It wasn't just about historic boundaries ... it was not that at all. It was that we were fighting for an idea. And that idea, it was a profound idea, it was a radical idea: this idea that all of us are created equal."
