As I mentioned earlier, this day has much meaning for me. I have attended too many services to bury.

Just know something and you veterans know this.....This is NOT a day to honor those who serve in our armed forces today......

Memorial Day is different. This day remembers those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Only 50 to 55% of American citizens know WHY we celebrate Memorial Day

I ask everyone to honor this...Each year at 3:00 p.m. on Memorial Day, Americans unite in a National Moment of Remembrance which honors America’s fallen and their families. During this Moment, 200 Amtrak trains blast their whistles, approximately 500,000 Major League Baseball fans are joined in silence, and countless other participants make a vow to remember.

3PM TOMORROW

"This is a day to remember sacrifice and authentic heroism. As BK001 posted earlier....this is not not about sales, or barbecues, or days off."
