Remember

.

I would say Happy Memorial Day, but that's really an oxymoron. Today, although often a day for family celebrations, is a day for serious remembrance. Memorial Day is a day to remember the dead. Originally called Decoration Day, it was day declared to decorate our soldier's graves, and to remember their service to our fair country. Unlike Veteran's Day, today we honor only the dead. So, if you have a family grave to decorate -- go decorate. If not, go learn Taps. And be sure to raise your flag.
