Memorial Day - Monday, May 29, 2023
Memorial Day is an American holiday. Observed on the last Monday of May. We honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many visit cemeteries or memorials, hold family gatherings, and participate in parades around this great land.
You can find the history here on History.com.
Veterans Day and Memorial Day both honor those who've served. Here's how they differ, NPR.org
Memorial Day by Annette Wynne
Is it enough to think today
Of all our brave, then put away
The thought until a year has sped?
Is this full honor for our dead?
Is it enough to sing a song
And deck a grave, and all year long
Forget the brave who died that we
Might keep our great land proud and free?
Full service needs a greater toll
That we who live give heart and soul
To keep the land they died to save,
And be ourselves, in turn, the brave!
Of all our brave, then put away
The thought until a year has sped?
Is this full honor for our dead?
Is it enough to sing a song
And deck a grave, and all year long
Forget the brave who died that we
Might keep our great land proud and free?
Full service needs a greater toll
That we who live give heart and soul
To keep the land they died to save,
And be ourselves, in turn, the brave!
Stay sassy,
