Remembering …

My cousin sent me an email with this picture. Dilemma: how to set an alarm in my head for 3pm. Any ideas?

Memorial Day Remembrance

From theblaze.com:

How should you mark Memorial Day?  The folks at US Memorial Day offer some tips;

  • 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 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.
  • by renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans.

For the families and friends of those who died in service to America, every single day is Memorial Day, as they are forced to carry on without a loved one. The least we can do is pause at 3pm on Monday for a Moment of Remembrance.

Except for a 6am breakfast at Waffle House, I pretty much stayed home today.

Until next time…
