Memorial Day....#2

Yesterday I blogged about Memorial Day and what it means.  Many people are confused about Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day and Armed Forces Day.  There is a difference on what each day’s designation.  I’ve seen a few different versions of why we celebrate or remember each day.  As I said before Memorial Day is not a day of celebration but remembrance; a day to honor those who gave their lives.  I’ve seen various takes on the meaning of each day but this is the best in my opinion. 

I saw this on a social media site today; it says all.

For Those who used to wear the uniform.  

              MEMORIAL DAY

For Those who never made it out of the uniform.

Remember take some time out of your weekend to attend a Memorial Day service in your community; and on Monday give a few moments of silence for those who never made it home from war.
