How Do You Plan to Honor Our Heroes?
May 28 2010
This weekend is about celebrating the men and women who serve our country in uniform. With all of the events taking place around the country, we’d like to hear how YOU are celebrating the holiday.
Taking the kids to an air show? Or going to a local war memorial to pay respects to those who have fallen in combat?
Not able to get out this weekend? There are movies and specials, concerts and tv programs dedicated to the honor military servicemembers, too!
Plenty of ways to celebrate the sacrifices made every day in our name- what do you plan to do?
I was planning to do a little research on a couple of my ancestors that fought in wars dating back to Revolutionary War. My Mother (bless her) is into geneology and has uncovered some intriguing if sketchy info.
I’ll be thinking and thanking all those that have served our country. We’ll be viewing the National Memorial Day Concert on Capitol Hill via TV Sunday evening.
Our family will attend the Wolf Trap Summer Kick off concert with our neighbors and their kids. The President’s Own Marine Corps band plays, and there are fireworks. Monday we’ll bbq with our neighbors; many of whom are veterans or currently serving. I also post the names of the guys in my husband’s unit who were lost; and those of the spouses I’ve gotten to know since the deployment. Remembering is our duty to them!
