We cherish too, the Poppy redThat grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
~Moina Michael, 1915
Enacted to honor those who have fallen while in military service, Memorial Day is set aside to remember and reflect on those who gave their all for our country.
In 2000, Congress established the National Moment of Remembrance asking Americans to pause at 3:00 each Memorial Day for a moment of reflection and national unity. Demonstating our gratitude and respect as one united nation at this moment in time models our appreciation and deep regard for the sacrifices that were made to preserve our liberties.
Join in with the Moment of Remembrance this Memorial Day and unite as one voice in memory of these noble men and women who died to protect our freedoms and the security of our homeland. Be thankful for their great sacrifice that allows me to write this blog...and for you to read it freely.
