Memorial Day is about saluting those who fight the battle on the side that yearns for a freer, more peaceful world once the shooting stops.

Hundreds of thousands of American men and women have perished in giving us and others the opportunity for brighter tomorrows — from the Revolutionary War, the Union troops in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Desert Storm, the War on Terror, and other missions. But, one stigma remained from the sixties — the conflicting concepts of “anti-war” or not. I once heard someone refer to war as “the Devil’s game.” I was proud to share this experience with them, even if I was one of the least. I learned most of the young men in my platoon were capable of great individual courage when the going got tough. I know it is the face of every recruit who I battled through hell and emerged triumphant with on boot camp graduation day. For the next couple of days, nonstop coverage of the tragedy dominated every television station. I weep when I see his face — because I know it is my face. I remember feeling a bit miffed they pre-empted my cartoon shows. We knew, or at least felt pretty sure, about how our fellow travelers in misery would respond when the only options were to stand head-on against the hurricane of unbearable challenge or to wilt. When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, my second-grade teacher announced it to the class; I think the school might have even turned the clock back to the time of the shooting as a tribute. They learned mine in the first 15 minutes.

We want to make sure the kids get a chance to come out, play games – and to get a chance to see some of what these [veterans] are about… “It is the sense of comradeship, and looking at the growth of the service… Although there is an American Legion Post “only 1 mile away” from his residence in Chicago, Jefferson said, “I actually come here because of the activity of this organization. “On Tuesday, June 14 – which is Flag Day – all the flags that are tattered and worn, we are going to burn in a ceremony. We have invited residents and military families to bring their flags for disposal as well. We are trying to get all the organizations that we work with – [Hillside] Pantry, local Veterans Assistance organizations, Police and Fire Departments, schools, some of the other reserve units – to get folks out. [Members] are so active, doing things to fulfill the pillars as far as the Legion is concerned… It’s a different meaning now than it was when we had a draft in the Vietnam era,” said Jefferson. “One of the challenges we face today is… Are you part of a community in which you have veterans?” “We thought, because we’re a veteran-based golf outing … it would be nice to let friends or family of those who have served previously honor them. Along with making a sign with their name and the period of time they served, we also posted a flag at every one of those signs, as a tribute to their service,” said Bogojevich.

A prominent journalist of the World War II era complained once about the frequent use of the word “boys” when speaking of U.S. troops in the field.

“The men in the road seemed reluctant to leave. And then he got up and walked away down the road in the moonlight, all alone.” A prominent journalist of the World War II era complained once about the frequent use of the word “boys” when speaking of U.S. troops in the field. “The unburdened mules moved off to their olive orchard,” Pyle wrote. But the term was meant more as an expression of affection and solidarity — “our boys in uniform” — than as a description. In fact, the average age of those who died in the Second World War was about 27, and their numbers did include a good many youths.

Delta Air Lines canceled the most flights among major U.S. airlines, with more than 250 flights, or 9% of its operations, eliminated Saturday. One hundred and sixty Delta flights were canceled by Sunday evening, according to FlightAware. About 1,460 flights had been canceled as of 7 p.m. EDT Sunday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. That followed more than 2,300 cancellations Friday and another 1,500 on Saturday. ATLANTA (AP) — Hundreds of flights worldwide were canceled by Sunday evening, adding to the mounting number of scrubbed flights during the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend in the U.S.

As the son of Navy fighter pilot, I was taught three things at a very early age: 1. To always thank a veteran when you saw him or her; 2.

The free will they fought to protect wasn’t meant for us to use as a tool of mutual destruction. This Memorial Day let’s again honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice by doing the important traditional things like parades, moments of silence, gathering at monuments, and many others. I often speak to people about this necessity of mutual understanding, and it is always received with aggressive agreement. Trust me, I know it’s a challenge these days not to react in ways that focus on our differences and drive us further to our corners. Memorial Day itself would be spent at the Bethlehem Memorial Day parade, an event that seemingly the entire town would attend decked out in red, white, and blue. My father, and other members of Post 146, would spend hours making sure veteran grave markers had American flags at the two cemeteries in town.

To lower flags to half-staff, flags should be hoisted first to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. Today Michigan lowers the flags to honor the memory of our fallen service members and commit ourselves to working together to build a state worthy of their sacrifices.” As with many WWII veterans who have survived the war and many other milestones in their life, Masters shared her story. Flags should be returned to full staff on Monday, May 30 at noon. We owe these fallen men and women a debt that we can never repay for their selfless service to our nation. As of 2020, WWII veterans in the U.S., totalled around 500,000 but the Census Bureau estimates that by 2030, only 8,000 WWII veterans will remain.

In Washington, motorcyclists have been a regular feature of the Memorial Day observance.

Formerly known as Decoration Day, the origins of the federal holiday can be traced back to the post-Civil War era, when a group of Union army veterans, the ...

Find a way to memorialize this for yourself and your family," Flags of Valor said. I also think of their families' sacrifice to our nation," she said. We will never forget." COSF CEO and Co-Founder Kristina Kaufmann told Newsweek that for some, the meaning of Memorial Day is deeply personal and not a day of celebration, and therefore it isn't appropriate to wish someone a "Happy Memorial Day." The Code of Support Foundation (COSF), a U.S. non-profit organization that works to ensure members of the military, veterans, caregivers and surviving families receive the support they have earned through their service and sacrifice, calls on Americans to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day, and to "seek ways to honor our nation's heroes who died in service to our great nation." While it may seem natural to wish someone a "Happy Memorial Day," Americans remain split over whether it is an appropriate phrase to use to mark the national day of remembrance.

Exactly! Most Americans don't know this, but after WWII, a lot of Nazis came to the U.S. to work in intelligence and other top government positions.

I recommend that, this Memorial Day, everyone join Veterans For Peace in their efforts to stop the killing of innocent children, women, and yes, vets too, on all sides. But now the MIC has turned the day of thoughtful sadness into a celebration of war heroism and military exploits with fighter jet flyovers, marching bands and flag waving. A day of determination to never let the folly of war happen again.

I visited my father's grave at the veterans cemetery in Windsor the other day. He had been in the Army Air Corps during the second world war.

A group of young people organized a boycott of the parade in protest of the legislator’s ban. –During the 1960s and 70s, Memorial Day became a flashpoint for the Vietnam War. In 1969 a group called “Clergy and Laity Concerned” planned an event at the Torrington town park to memorialize the war’s 33,000 casualties. After living for two months in their tent city, the families were rousted by General Douglas MacArthur, who led troops with bayonets and tear gas to burn the Bonus camp down. Congress had voted to give veterans a bonus, but the payout was not scheduled for another 13 years. Bendell was a Jewish Russian immigrant who had volunteered for the Navy when the U.S. first entered the war. He had been in the Army Air Corps during the second world war.

On Memorial Day, "poems written by veterans that focus on honoring those who have died may give us a clue" to healing our deep divisions.

These words cannot be just lines or lists; they become, by being memorialized in a black stone, a “mirror,” the reader’s and thus society’s “reflection.” All on the bench are implicated; the names died for us, and, as a result, are us. The words are “names,” which “could be lines / of poems or a grocery list. For the visitor, the memorial becomes “an opened book,” a place where “A word loses its ability to conjure / trapped inside a black mirror.” We can also learn from Brock Jones, an Army veteran who served three tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He named his award-winning book “ Cenotaph,” the name for a tomb to honor those whose graves lie elsewhere. As a result, their image in the stone becomes a living memorial. Yet even with such a positive affirming metaphor, the speaker’s mind and heart are not fully at ease. “I go down the 58,022 names, / half-expecting to find / my own in letters like smoke. The holiday emerged from the Civil War as a celebration almost exclusively for veterans of the Union Army to remember those who had died. They address language’s inability to capture or express loss linked to memories of war. The concluding line relieves that worry – the names are not being erased. / He’s lost his right arm / inside the stone. It surfaces daily as communities such as New Orleans wrestle with whether or not to keep memorial statues honoring Confederate leaders like Robert E. Lee. Editor’s note: The Lee statue was removed in May 2017, but the debate over removing Confederate influence continues.

predatory lending targeting members of the military; Military Lending Act; Easy Pay Finance; Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act.

If members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation are serious about honoring veterans, they should sign on as co-sponsors to this important bill right away. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who died in service to their country. Indeed, as a new report from the National Consumer Law Center and other consumer advocacy groups makes clear, there are some very important ways in which current federal law allows veterans not just to be dishonored, but affirmatively targeted for exploitation.

The crosses honor those who served America in the U.S. Armed Forces and have since passed away. The helmet on the monument belonged to the late Emilio Membrila.

However, in the late 1960s, the U.S. Congress designated the last Monday in May as Memorial Day. The purpose was to create a three-day holiday. In Greenlee County, they will do so at cemeteries in Duncan, Clifton, Morenci, and Sheldon. It may be worth a person’s time to realize just how many from Greenlee have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It does not matter what the day is named. At the war’s end in 1865, a group of slaves disinterred the bodies and buried them in what was to them honorable and decent graves. For yet others, it is a day to visit the graves of family members or friends and remember them. The crosses honor those who served America in the U.S. Armed Forces and have since passed away.

Paul Infante, right, with two unidentified Marines during the Vietnam War. Every Memorial Day, I find myself mulling one of the few photographs I have of my ...

This memorial is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the city, and I find it has a way of silencing the demons in my head. Personally, I can't think of a better way to honor both those lost to war and those lost to violence at home than to work toward ending the constant echo of gunfire, once and for all. The pretension of helplessness on the part of elected officials is insulting to all of us, especially the dead and the grieving. My father died at the age of 26, in Pittsburgh … a victim of gun violence a mere two years after he returned from the war. Every Memorial Day, I find myself mulling one of the few photographs I have of my father taken during the Vietnam War. It's of him and two other boys. I say “boys” because now, at the age of 50, I can see that's what my father was at the time.

Memorial Day became an official national holiday in 1971 to honor Americans who died in military service, some 1.1. million people since the nation’s founding. Of course, numbers are inadequate shorthand for the horror and the grief that every death provokes. But it feels appropriate to use the day this year to honor other Americans who have died from other cataclysmic events — the million who have been killed by the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, and the 1.5 million who have been killed by firearms over the last four decades.

It's been less than a year since 13 service members were killed in Kabul during the final days of the U.S. pullout. This Memorial Day, a mother remembers ...

Vikki said she hopes that she and Mark can manage to make the journey for Noah's birthday on July 28; he would have turned 38 this year. It pains Mark and Vikki to have been away from the cemetery for so long. Noah spent the first 11 years of his life in Fairfax, Va., just 18 miles away from the cemetery, before the family moved to Charlotte, N.C. Mark and Vikki said Noah was fascinated by American history as a kid. Mark and Vikki decided to move with their four youngest children less than a year after Noah's death. "They said he could be buried in Arlington, or a cemetery of our choice, and we just chose Arlington because, you know, he was from there," Mark added. The Piers said they had no words to describe how they felt when they found out Noah was killed.

Today is perhaps the most somber of all American holidays. Memorial Day is a time to remember our war dead, those in the armed services who gave their lives ...

An official day dedicated to this tragic reality will remind us that firearms take a daily toll in this country, and perhaps move Americans to action. Consider the number of people murdered by gunmen at houses of worship over the past several years. Their names should be before us, observed on a specified day each year, when we remember them and the need to address this enemy in our midst. And a 2014 study by UC San Francisco found that people with ready access to firearms were three times more likely to die by suicide. Memorial Day is a time to remember our war dead, those in the armed services who gave their lives to protect our nation. Dedicating a day to honor these veterans and mourn their deaths helps remind us of the terrible toll of war.

Those we talked to want people to remember that Memorial Day is for those service members we have lost and Veterans Day is for those that are serving and have served in the past. “An honor to have come after the folks that have given their lives for this country, it’s an honor to carry that banner, it was an honor for the last 20 years to live in a legacy and heritage that came from those before,” said Bobby Meager.

“Memorial Day is an important day in our country’s history,” Kapler said. In a blog post on Friday, Kapler revealed that he considered taking a knee during the national anthem last week following the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults after opening fire at an elementary school. Those who serve in our military, and especially those who have paid the ultimate price for our rights and freedoms, deserve that acknowledgment and respect, and I am honored to stand on the line today to show mine.”

He said Memorial Day was initially proposed in 1896 by Major General John Logan, who fought in the Civil War and Mexican-American War, as a day to decorate the graves of soldiers who died in the Civil War with flowers. But a day like today, we should remember the veteran.” “We should never forget that. Jones said it was powerful to see Vietnam veterans find the names of their friends who died in the war and run their fingers over the stone etchings.

That is why we are gathered here on Memorial Day: to honor the memory of our fallen warriors who have given everything for their country." "The loss felt by Gold Star families is forever," he said.

When the founding charter members of Post 16 led by J. Holman Pryor applied for membership in the American Legion, they selected Sgt. William E Carter as our namesake since he was the oldest member of Company "L" 372nd infantry. He was sent to Puerto Rico during the Spanish American War, distinguishing himself as Corporal. Returning home in 1899, he served in L Company MVM and served until 1917, when L Company became the 372nd Infantry. This was the beginning of a famed regiment. This includes William E. Carter, the namesake of the American Legion Post that spearheads the effort to place all these flags.

The hope is that human nature can improve, even though so far that was been very slow and sporadic.

We honor our dead best when we honor what they fought for by embracing the obligations to be the strong America that Americans need. The brutal truth of human imperfection, as the war against Ukraine so cruelly reminds us, is that there will always be more to remember on Memorial Days in parts of the real world. Together their economies, military capabilities, nuclear threats and capacity to endanger U.S. interests are arguably on scale greater than that posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. We live in a world where dangerous nations refuse to honor that norm. Yes, this is the day to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country. This Memorial Day happens in time of war, as another nation battles for its freedom thousands of miles away, fighting back against naked aggression.
