Memorial Day 2010

It's not too soon to be thinking about Memeorial Day which falls on 31 May this year. These things can come upon us very quickly.

Here's a little reminder of what it's all about. Be sure and pass it on to your kids.

"Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. local time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at National Cemeteries.

Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars take donations for poppies in the days leading up to Memorial Day; the poppy's significance to Memorial Day is the result of the John McCrae poem "In Flanders Fields."

In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also used as a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events. One of the longest-standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911."

If you need a good flag kit, here's one for you.



And there's lots more patriotic gear here. Show your patriotism and shame the liberals into being proud Americans again.
