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.
