Memorial Day is for remembering the men and women that
lost their lives while serving our great country.
On Memorial Day,
the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and
then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until
noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
The half-staff
position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives
in service of their country. At noon, their memory is raised by the living, who
resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead
and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
We live in the land
of the free, because of the brave! I am forever grateful for their sacrifice. I
hope you have a great weekend!
