I will stop and salute the flag when it is being raised or lowered and folded no matter where I am to this day.Problem is not many raise it in the morning or lower and fold the flag at the end of the day.

I whored myself out to the army for over 20 years. I still ..... myself out to the army as a contractor. One of these days, I will have to get an honest job.

Memorial Day was first called “Decoration Day” because of the practice of decorating soldier’s graves with flowers.

I really love hanging out and relaxing with the family and remembering those who made it possible to have these days.

Vietnam vets go whole hog

On Memorial Day weekend in 1988, 2,500 motorcyclists rode into Washington, D.C. for the first Rolling Thunder rally to draw attention to Vietnam War soldiers still missing in action or prisoners of war. By 2002, the ride had swelled to 300,000 bikers, many of them veterans. There may have been a half-million participants in 2005, in what organizers bluntly call "a demonstration—not a parade."

A national veterans rights group, Rolling Thunder takes its name from the B-52 carpet-bombing runs during the war in Vietnam.

5/30/14 #3 - James A. Garfield delivered a rather lengthy speech at the first Memorial Day ceremony

Of course then it was still called Decoration Day, and at the time, Garfield was a Civil War General and Republican Congressman, not yet a President. On May 30, 1868, he addressed the several thousand people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery. “If silence is ever golden,” Garfield said, “it must be beside the graves of 15,000 men, whose lives were more significant than speech, and whose death was a poem the music of which can never be sung.”

About 5,000 people attended in 1868 to place flowers and small American flags on each grace, the same amount as currently attended each year.

My mother and I always fold the flag properly at night when we take it down. Taking the flag down and folding in a triangle it is a ritual for us.

I can't believe Memorial Day weekend was a whole week ago. It's not the same without parades.
