I wrote a Memorial Day article 4 years ago entitled Blawg Review #110. You can read it by clicking here now. It is an extensive article about the history of Memorial Day, how Memorial Day is celebrated, and there are some video links in the article.
As of the date of the writing of this article, May 30, 2011, we, the United States of America, have been at war almost 10 years. The 10 year anniversary will fall on September 11, 2011.
Thousands of men and women have given their lives in the service of our nation since September 11, 2011, and over a million have died throughout our nation’s history.
As you enjoy the day with your friends or family, watch TV, go the mall, maybe attend a memorial day service or parade, you should take a moment to remember those brave souls that have given their all in our nation’s service, so that you can be free in this great nation of ours, enjoying this day, memorial day.
I would also ask that you take a moment to think of all the young men and young women serving who are in harm’s way right now on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, and let them be in your prayers.
Have a happy Memorial Day and God Bless America.
Welcome, my name is 
people in our culture don’t really care. They rather see fake reality TV. So sad! Kind of like BC Romans at the Forum.
