"Be thankful for each precious day of life with a loved one and make the most of it. Resolve to take the right action in the situations of life, whatever they may be." – David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer (United Airlines Flight 93 passenger, September 11, 2001)
Let’s remember our responsibility (and opportunity) to give others (agreed to us by those who served before us).
In case we missed you on Friday…
Memorial Day in the U.S. is a day to pay tribute to the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States.
It was first established on a national level in 1868 (3 years after the Civil War) and became a federal holiday in 1971.
In 1950, the Congress, by a joint resolution, approved a request to the president to issue a proclamation mission on the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people might unite in prayer – 11 am local time.
Also, Congress designated 3 pm local time as a time for all Americans to observe the National Moment of Memory (1 minute of silence… illumination on if you’re driving) to remember and honor those who died in service to the United States.
