[Milsurplus] Memorial Day

[Michael Student]

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
 
The definition I follow for Memorial Day, RIP Uncle Frank and Uncle Emil both KIA WW2.
 
73's, Mike

Greetings All,

         The summer session has started here on the east coast.  In two
days we will as a Nation celebrate Memorial Day. My Family and I will be
taking part in services Monday to Honor All those who have Served and Who
are serving now. I would like to ask all those on the Reflector that over
this Holiday Weekend if you see a Veteran or Active Military Personal
take a moment to shake His or Her hand and Thank Them.  As many of you
know My Wife and I have two Sons who are Active Military. One is
currently forward Deployed and the other will be shortly.  They are part
of a proud family line, like there Grandfather, and there Father they
Stood, Took an Oath to Protect This great Nation against Any and All who
threaten it.  So let us not forget what we have and those who fought so
we may have it. Please “Remember Them Always “
