Memorial Day - May 27th, 2013

"Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formally known as Decoration Day and commemorates all men and women, who have died in military service for the United States. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day and it is traditionally seen as the start of the summer season." - Time and Date

"As this holiday approaches,

Remember those we have lost,

Think of what our military has done for us,

Smile through the losses,

Cry for the pain,

But always remember this was their wish,

To stand tall,

Proud,

And free,

To protect those who they loved.

Now they watch over us,

Protecting from elsewhere

And in our hearts we remember

...

They will never be lost

For our hearts will never forget

The soldiers

Who are our survival."
