DecorationDay/Memorial Day
Interesting article about its origin here.
For the wiki entry, go here.
Taps
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
They hover as a cloud of witnesses above this Nation. ~Henry Ward Beecher

A Public Service Announcement from Steve Rogers, Captain America:
"Stay safe this weekend. And please, remember the fallen."

Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilised folk to despise war.
