It is Memorial Day weekend in America. The nation pauses in remembrance of military men and women whose lives have been lost in service.
“In solemn reflection, we gather — in small towns and big cities, on battlefields, in cemeteries, and at sacred places where blood has been shed for freedom’s cause — throughout our country and around the world to remember the unbroken chain of patriots who won independence, saved our Union, defeated fascism, and protected the Nation we love from emerging threats in a changing world.”
(U.S. Presidential Proclamation – Prayer for Peace, Memorial Day, 2015)
