Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial day is a day that was brought to us to make us conscious of those who where lost in the military; celebrated every last Monday in May, Memorial day can vary in the South from the North, in the south states, Memorial day is celebrated in the fourth Monday in April.
As a national celebration, Memorial Day is celebrated anywhere in the country, with no restrictions, in fact, Memorial Day is promoted to thank those who gave their live for this country.
A few ways to honor the dead is by thank them for living. As General George S. Patton once quoted "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived", General George shows how we must honor them by celebrating their death and their living.
As I was surfing through the web, I came across this quote by Helen Keller that stated "[w]hat we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us", and this made me think of how most of us think that the dead are gone once they are dead. But that is not true, the dead rom this earth
