During Memorial Day activities, please take a bit of time to reflect on the
military personnel past & present who have died in defense of our country.
IF possible please consider attending a Memorial service in your geographic
location.
See the following references for casualty statistics from WW I onward:

OF course, there will also be a number of flyovers for these services so
should you be able to monitor appropriate Air Traffic Control, as well as
tactical military operation with your scanner(s).
For example the 104FW Barnes (A10's), will be staging out of Westover JARB,
MA this weekend to provide support. The 103 FW Bradley (CT) (A10's), will
be flying out of Bradley IAP as usual. I would suspect that even ARNG Helo
units and other fighter units throughout the nation will be flying support
"Memorial fly overs".
