What will you be doing today?
No matter what, where and with who...take a moment to remember all those who have served and still are.....

Brief History for those who do not know what this American holiday is:
Memorial Day, legal holiday observed annually on the last Monday in May in the United States, in honor of the nation’s armed services personnel killed in wartime. The holiday was originally called Decoration Day because it is a time for decorating graves with flowers and flags.
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
Over time, the designation Memorial Day became far more common, it is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.
Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.
