Memorial Day is more than just BBQ’s

This Monday we will celebrate Memorial Day, as Americans we often forget that Memorial Day is more than just BBQ’s, shopping and perhaps the opening of the pool… In traditional observance, the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon.

At noon, their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
