They both seem apt. It is a somber day in may ways. Zara Altair
ReplyDeleteDavid Amerland Yes. When I was a child, Memorial Day was a fixed holiday and coincided with my birthday. Needless to say, I was conflicted.
ReplyDeleteIt is a somber day.
Thank you very much for sharing, Zara Altair. I made a post last night (https://goo.gl/tVkezI) and it had an excellent statement, worth repeating:
ReplyDeleteOn this Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices of prior generations. We honor the sacrifices of the men and women next door who have served or continue to serve our country. And we pledge never to forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. We would not have the privilege of celebrating this day and honoring so many memories without the sacrifices of those who gave their last full measure of devotion.
Oleg Moskalensky Thank you for the statement. We must never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI saw a sign the other day that said Happy Memorial Day. Completely missed the point.
