How Will You Observe Memorial Day?


That's not a finger of accusation that Uncle Sam is pointing, but a finger of selection...You are among the chosen. The picture comes from a WWII Army recruiting poster; the question is mine. How will you be observing Memorial Day? I am asking because of the number of people who have written me with "Thank Yous" for having created this page. Some wanted to borrow my text for speeches at local services. I am genuinely flattered and genuinely curious concerning the ceremonies. Perhaps, you are too; and so I have added this page so we can tell the world how you are observing Memorial Day whether on May 27th or May 30th.

Thank you for your Memorial Day site...I appreciate the thoughts expressed
here. How well I remember the ceremony in a small New England town, Bolton,
Massachusetts. We rode the school buses to each cemetery,...the boys placed
the flags, the girls the red geraniums. Following this the American Legion
treated everyone to ice cream, those 3-flavored slices., in the town hall.
These memories have remained with me. We continue to remember family
members with flags and flowers. Marge in Maryland
