Memorial Day Order Traditional observance
Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers often place American flags on each gravesite at National Cemeteries. Many Americans also use Memorial Day to honor other people who have died.

To some degree over the span of our lifetime we all mistakenly take our freedom for granted. We are not always in agreement on how and what we must do to protect it but we always call on the same people to defend it when becomes necessary. Lets support them when we can.
