Memorial Day
The last Monday of this month is Memorial Day. For many of us, it's just a holiday we celebrate by getting the day off from work. For department stores, it's a day to have a sale so all the people getting the day off will come in and buy their goods. But, the truth is, it's a day we need set aside to remember the men and women that have fought and died so we can have the few freedoms we have left. They deserve so much more than just one day of remembrance, but let's give them at least that much.
This is a powerful story in history. Only a few Americans are alive now who lived in those times. I would guess that a lot of college students are not aware of these places, or how they happened. Sad commentary on History teachers! Outstanding is a very mild word for this. https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...81226&part=2.6 https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...81226&part=2.9 https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...1226&part=2.10 https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...1226&part=2.12 https://web.mail.comcast.net/service...1226&part=2.19
