What are families doing this Memorial Day to acknowledge the meaning of the day?
Attending Memorial services at Riverside National Cemetery with my American Legion Post. I will pay my respects to those that served with me. Some lost their lives in combat some from natural causes. This is the home of the National C.M.H. Memorial. Here is a reminded why we have this one day to honor those that have served and died defending our Freedoms. I would add in the wars and conflicts America has been involved in we have never asked for or keep one square foot of any countries territory, except to bury our dead.
