A Day of Remembrance

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. (source)

Memorial Day Poem by Moina Michael, 1915
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.


To those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, have served, or are serving, I salute you and I will never forget.

Please take a moment at 3PM Washington DC time to remember those who have given their lives in the defense of freedom for our country.
