Memorial Day Moment of Silence
Posted on 05/26/2017
Monday, May 29th is Memorial Day. The day was originally referred to as 'Decoration Day' to remember those who lost their lives during the Civil War. Now a federal holiday, it has expanded to remember all those brave men and women in the United State Military who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
On Memorial Day, parades, grave decorations, and other ceremonies take place to remember our American heroes. A wreath is placed by the President or Vice President of the United States at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery. I'd ask you to stand now for a moment of silence.
