Memorial Day in today’s day and age may be about a long 3 day weekend or the annual beach house rental tradition, or the rush to get out of town before the traffic congestion begins. In essence, Memorial Day is about commemorating and remembering those brave comrades who sacrificed their lives to defend our country.
HuffPost DC published an interesting article on how Memorial Day has been celebrated in D.C. through these years beginning from the first “Decoration Day”. Take a look…
On days like this, it is very easy for people to overlook the essence or meaning. However, we are not going to offer unsolicited advice on how people like that need to change their perspectives. Instead, we propose a campaign to spread the word, to let people understand what it means and to educate people on the reality of the situation.
Take for instance, the story of Rachael Hill, a survivor. If you read her post, you will get a glimpse into what Memorial Day actually means. Another glimpse of what Memorial Day means is the drawing by 18 year old Sabrina Brady who won the Doodle 4 Google contest. We need to hear more voices like this, to understand the essence of our celebrations.
Let this Memorial Day be memorable
