Some things you should do to obeserve Memorial Day:

* by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes.

* by visiting memorials.

* by flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon.

* by flying the 'POW/MIA Flag' as well (Section 1082 of the 1998 Defense Authorization Act).

* by participating in a "National Moment of Remembrance": at 3 p.m. to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day, and for Taps to be played.

* by renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans.

Memorial day is a day of remembering and reflecting on those that have fought and served for this country and for us. They are our friends, family, neighbors and the people all around us, some we don't know and some sadly we'll never know. Have a great day people.

Thank you to the soldiers for everything you have given us!

We salute you!

My flags are at half-staff And we payed our disabled-veteran neighbor a nice visit.

Don't forget soldiers have blogs (xanga, myspace, and others) as well, you can easily thank them there.

yeah go veterans!

I did a 2 hour parade playing the trumpet. I wish I had gotten to meet and thank some veterans though in person

Our Nationally-recognized and Award-winning HS marching band had a parade...go P-CEP!

i wasn't born in this great land, but yeah thanks to the men and women who fought for freedom, and kept the world free. i just wish hippies would understand the hell they might have gone through and not call them babykillers and stuff

Pray for American Patriots!



I concur. Some people thank god for their deaths; those certain souls are inhumane. I am American 100%, and I am glad that I have done my time in the millitary yet I am upset that I did have to take part in war.

My hubby is active duty and I say thank you very much from him and his family.

And I say THANK YOU to all active duty and veterans out there! BLESS YOU!
Not everyone is anti-American, you do count!!

I went to a BBQ at a good friends house. His dad makes great Burgers.
