How Will you Honor the Fallen on Memorial Day?

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. The official beginning of the summer to some. Most of us will get a 3 day weekend and probably spend it with family at the family cookout. But we must not forget why we have this holiday. This day is set aside for remembering those who died serving our country. They are the men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice so that you and I could sit here in our own country and say the things we say here. For that I am grateful.

So I propose to everyone, no matter how you feel about our present war, that we all make an effort to honor those that have died. Visit a memorial, go to a ceremony, visit a cemetery, display an American or a POW/MIA flag. No matter how big or small you honor them the fact is you did. And that's all that matters.

A National Moment of Remembrance is scheduled for 3PM EDT (2PM CDT).

Here is how G.B. Trudeau author of the Doonesbury comic and Ted Koppel of Nightline are honoring the fallen service men in Iraq.

Don't forget to thank the veterans that where fortunate to come back. They sacrificed a lot too.
