Memorial Day 2010



Although many people believe Memorial Day is a day to remember all of the nation's dead, the holiday actually honors those who fell while in service to our country. Here's a great website (maintained by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War) that is dedicated to restoring the original meaning of the holiday.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day.

In addition to our military dead, especially after 9-11, we should honor of police, fire, emt, and other law enforcement / safety officers who've fallen in the line of duty.
