"Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored "
Quote from Daniel Webster.
Memorial Day is a special occasion for every American, as it reminds us of the brave men and women who died while serving the United States of America. It is important that the sanctity of the traditional observance of Memorial Day is respected by every individual. So even if we are all out "celebrating" our day off, take a few minutes and remember why. We must find a way to honor any and all war-dead. It is also necessary to re-educate and remind everyone the true meaning of Memorial Day, and teach every child the significance of one's country and its independence. To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the National Moment of Remembrance resolution was passed by the U.S. Congress. It encourages every American to voluntarily and informally observe the Memorial day at 3 p.m., pausing from whatever task they are doing. It is a token of respect for those honorable men, who sacrificed their lives for the country. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: "It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day."
Have a safe day and enjoy time with your friends and family!!
