Memorial Day....Toast to All No Longer With Us
The "Memorial" in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice:
by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes. by visiting memorials. by flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon. by flying the 'POW/MIA Flag' as well (Section 1082 of the 1998 Defense Authorization Act). by renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans. by participating in a "National Moment of Remembrance": at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day, and for Taps to be played. Spend a moment of your time and go here, http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/news/finalSalute/ and watch the slide show. Very moving and keeps it all in perspective.

Re: Memorial Day....Toast to All No Longer With Us
Great post Bhudda!
We all need to take a moment to remember what has been sacrificed and to feel grateful. Not just this day but every day. It's not just another day off.
