Honor and Remember this Memorial Day

All Gave Some...Some Gave All.

Memorial Day weekend is regarded by many as the unofficial beginning of summer. With all that entails, it is easy to lose sight of the true meaning of the holiday. As you go about your weekend, please take time this #Memorial Day to honor all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

The National Moment of Remembrance Act was passed in 2000 as a way of helping honor and remember our fallen heroes. For one minute at 3 pm on each Memorial Day, we’re asked to stop everything to pay our respects to the men and women who died in service for our country, especially those who died in battle. That time of day was chosen because it is likely a time when Americans are most enjoying the freedom made possible by those brave men and women.

"In Flanders Fields"

In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
 
~ Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, 1915
