Memorial Day

A day to honor men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. A day many commonly observed by visiting cemeteries and memorials and watching parades with military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations.

In December 2000, the National Moment of Remembrance Act was passed for Americans to pay a moment of respect at 3:00 pm local time on the day by observing a moment of silence or listening to “Taps.”

 

In addition, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, with parties, family gatherings, and barbecues/BBQs.

How to Observe Memorial Day

A few ideas:

·        Attend a Memorial Day parade.

·        Put out a flag or raise a flag. On Memorial Day, flags are to be raised to the top of the pole and then lowered to half-staff. At noon the flag is to be raised back to the top. The flying of the flag at half-staff symbolizes the fallen, and its raising to full-staff shows the resolve of those who are still living, and that the death of the soldiers won't be in vain.

·        Visit a cemetery or memorial, and perhaps lay down flowers and flags.

·        Participate in the National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 pm.

·        Wear poppies

·        Gather with family or friends and have a cookout.

How I Found My Monster Kittens [The New Three Little Kittens] Good read for ages 2-8. By Olexity Starr What a cute, funny story tale with some rhyming connections, its colorful simple yet interesting enough to keep a child listening. The monster kittens are not really monsters looking, but cute - that went outside to play alone without letting the boy in the story know. There is a good lesson to learn not to go out doors or anywhere without informing someone an adult, friend, or neighbor.  A good quick read for younger children.
