Site Meter Ogre's Politics & Views: On Memorial Day, Part II

This is a follow-up to the first post below, "On Memorial Day."

The time is now 12:00 noon (Eastern Daylight Time). Do you know what is supposed to happen all around the country at this time? The American Flag is supposed to be raised to it's full height. Yes, all morning flags were to be flying at half-mast. They were flying there to remind us of those who died trying to secure freedom for this once-great country called America. But now the flag should fly high -- to remember that those people did not die in vain.

This is a day of remembrance. 3:00 local time is officially the time for the National Moment of Remembrance. Take some time out of your day, even if it's only to play "Taps" one time.

Remember today all those who have gone before. And perhaps consider doing something yourself so that those deaths will not have been for nothing.
