Memorial Day is the time when World War II Veterans get the opportunity to fly to Washington D.C. to see the WWII Veteran’s Memorial.  For many of these veteran’s, it is the first celebration they have experienced for the service they gave.  #veterans #veteransday #honorflight   The Honor Flight Network and Veterans Day http://www.empowernetwork.com/pamschmidt/blog/veterans-day-and-the-honor-flight-network/?id=pamschmidt 1 hour ago - Via Google+ - View - Scott Hicks : I'm never opposed to citizens thanking veterans.  Please don't think otherwise.  I do ask that you help... I'm never opposed to citizens thanking veterans.  Please don't think otherwise.  I do ask that you help spread a reminder (not necessarily through my post) that Memorial Day is not Veterans day.  Memorial Day is set aside to remember those that gave their life in the service of this great nation.  My way as a veteran of saying "this day isn't about me". #MemorialDay   2 hours ago - Via Reshared Post - View - Richard Fyock : Glorifying war on Memorial or Veterans Day to me, is just as profane as teaching your child to lie and... Glorifying war on Memorial or Veterans Day to me, is just as profane as teaching your child to lie and be greedy to celebrate Jesus's birthday...LOVE involves the mind. 《Matthew 22:37-40》 Are you celebrating people's egos, or political, or monetary profits??? Or are you remembering the true costs of war?? Which way of remembering do you think will make war less likely??? Which tradition of celebrating will make wars more likely?? 2 hours ago - Via Mobile - View - Home Secure Shutter and Screen : Monday is Veterans Day, the day we commemorate all the men and women, who have died in military service...

It hangs in the National Veteran's Art Museum, Chicago, Illinois. Did not know this existed............ When visitors first enter the museum, they will hear a sound like wind chimes coming from above them and their attention will be drawn upward 24 feet to the ceiling of the two-story high atrium. Dog tags of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War hang from the ceiling of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The 10-by-40-foot sculpture, entitled Above and Beyond, was designed by Ned Broderick and Richard Stein. The tens of thousands of metal dog tags are suspended 24 feet in the air, 1 inch apart, from fine lines that allow them to move and chime with shifting air currents. Museum employees using a kiosk and laser pointer help visitors locate the exact dog tag with the imprinted name of their lost friend or relative. 9 hours ago - Via Google+ - View - michael shearing : I remember.

You're finally Free.   Robert Tonsetic Looks Back: Gia Dinh Province, South Vietnam, June 2, 1968 Tuesday, May 14, 2013 by Libby  [Charlie Company, 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry, prepares to board helicopters to conduct an airmobile assault on an enemy bunker complex located in Gia Dinh Province, South Vietnam on June 2, 1968.] June 2, 1968: the day is etched in my memory because I lost two good men that day.  As company commander, I mourned the loss of every man, but that day one man in particular stands out in my memory, and he is among those photographed on pick-up zone: Private First Class Charles Clifford Bailey was 21 years old when he was killed that day. “Cliff” was the name he went by in his platoon.  I remember the day he joined our company in late April of 1968. It was my practice to meet and talk with all the replacements who joined the company before assigning them to a platoon, finding out a little about their background.  Cliff was a taller than average guy with a warm smile, and I remember him telling me that his hometown was Eureka, Kansas, a small mid-western town of around 3,000 people. He’d graduated high school, and attended Emporia State College before he was drafted. I told him he’d be paired up with one of the more experienced soldiers in his platoon, and to always listen closely to his sergeants and lieutenant.  Cliff seemed to fit in nicely with the other guys in his platoon and was by everyone’s account a good soldier who followed orders cheerfully and got along well with everyone.  With a bit more experience in a rifle platoon, I may well have picked him to be one of my radio operators. I always chose the best and brightest for radio operators. By June 2, 1968, Charlie Company had been through some of the toughest fighting of the war including the Tet Offensive and the May Offensive, and we lost a number of good men. Things seemed to be quieting down a bit by the beginning of June, but there were still a number of enemy units in our area, so I wasn’t surprised, when on the morning of June 2d, we were called out to reinforce another company from our battalion that was in a vicious fight with an entrenched enemy force. Soon after our combat assault into the flooded rice paddies, we moved out toward a tree line and came under heavy automatic weapons and machine gun fire.  Cliff’s platoon bore the brunt of the fire and casualties. I, along with my radiomen, was moving between Cliff's platoon and another platoon from my company.  My men returned fire and continued to advance on the tree line, and I started splashing through the flooded rice paddy toward the scene of the heaviest fighting.  I didn’t see Cliff fall, but I got there just as his buddies were carrying him to a more secure location from which he could be evacuated.  His body appeared lifeless, but I hoped the medics might revive him. They couldn’t. As I helped lift his body on the medevac chopper, I began to tear up. Cliff’s buddy, Lloyd Martin Starkey, from Hardy, Virginia was also fatally wounded along with several other less seriously injured men.  Both men were American heroes who gave their lives for our great nation.  Their names are etched in the black marble of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Panel 61W, Rows 9 and 17. book christmas tree I try to visit the Wall each Memorial Day and Veterans Day to mourn and remember our fallen heroes, and I think of them each and every day of my life.

Welles, a druggist in the village of Waterloo, NY, mentioned at a social gathering that honor should be shown to the patriotic dead of the Civil War by decorating their graves. In the Spring of 1866, he again mentioned this subject to General John B. Murray, Seneca County Clerk. General Murray embraced the idea and a committee was formulated to plan a day devoted to honoring the dead. Townspeople adopted the idea wholeheartedly. Wreaths, crosses and bouquets were made for each veteran's grave. The village was decorated with flags at half mast and draped with evergreen boughs and mourning black streamers. On May 5, 1866, civic societies joined the procession to the three existing cemeteries and were led by veterans marching to martial music. At each cemetery there were impressive and lengthy services including speeches by General Murray and a local clergyman. The ceremonies were repeated on May 5, 1867. The first official recognition of Memorial Day as such was issued by General John A. Logan, first commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. This was General Order No. 11 establishing "Decoration Day" as it was then known. The date of the order was May 5, 1868, exactly two years after Waterloo's first observance. That year Waterloo joined other communities in the nation by having their ceremony on May 30. -http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyseneca/memorial.htm Remember:  Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, living or dead. -Wikipedia #Veterans   #VeteransDay    #MemorialDay   #Military   Memorial Day Memorial Day.
