A Day to Pause and to Remember
May 28, 2012
It is the fourth Monday in the month of May and it is a national holiday. What began after the Civil War as a day to honor the soldiers killed in that war has become a day to honor and remember all the members of the armed forces who are presently serving and who have served in the past. Our American way of life has survived because some have been willing to serve as its defenders.
There will be many tributes at cemeteries and parks throughout the country. We believe that it is important to pause today and participate in moments of remembrance.
