No matter where you live, at 3:00 p.m. on the last Monday

of May, you can participate in the National Moment of Remembrance. For one minute, Americans are asked to pause and think about the service men and women who died defending the freedoms we enjoy today.

These brave men and women served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and the Coast Guard.

Memorial Day

Decoration Day began following the U.S. Civil War in 1868. Flowurs were placed on the graves of more than 20,000 soldiers from bothe the North and South buries at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a day that people set aside to decorate the graves of soldiers who had dies fighting in the Civil War.

On Memorial Day, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts often place small flags or candles beside headstones in military cemeteries across the nation.

Look closely at these flags. Only two of them are correct depictions of today’s American flag. Can you find them?

Glue two craft sticks in a “V” shape as shown. Make five of these for each star you want to make.

Glue each of the “V” shapes together to form a star.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow simple written directions.

Paint the star red, white and blue. You can glue a craft stick on the bottom and place the stars in your garden or a flower pot for a Memorial Day display.

Memorial Day Observed

Look in the newspaper for events in your town happening on Memorial Day. What special Memorial Day parade or ceremony could your family attend?

Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information about local events.

Memorial Day became a federal holliday in 1971. Banks, schools, government offices and many businesses closed on Memorial Day so that people could take time to honor and remembers those who died fighting for America.

The National Memorial Day Purade in Washington, D.C. is held every year. It begin in 2005, and by 2009, more than 300,000 people lined the parade route.

We appreciate you.

We ask that we as American Citizens be aware of, and take a moment this upcoming Monday to pause a moment, just a few moments of personal silence, to pay tribute to those Americans who died defending our country throughout the world since 1775. They came from all walks of life and regions, but they all had one thing in common, love and loyalty to country. Whether done individually or collectively, it is the thought that counts.

Originally known as “Decoration Day,” local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead commemorated by placing flowers on their grave-sites. Several places claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, such as Columbus, Mississippi, who in April 29, 1866 honored the Confederate dead from the battle of Shiloh; or Waterloo, New York who in May 5, 1866 commemorated local Union Veterans with closing businesses, and residents flew flags at half-staff.

After World War I, the day of remembrance was extended to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, by act of Congress, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday, and placed on the last Monday in May. In 2000, “The National Moment of Remembrance Act” was signed into law, encouraging the people of the United States to give something back to their country, including promoting Memorial Day as the sacred and noble event that day is intended to be. Along with the Act, a Presidential Proclamation designated 3 p.m local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the Nation.

The American Legion Post 54 in honor of Memorial Day will be decorating the town of Gunnison with US Flags. Please join us for a Memorial Day Ceremony at 10 a.m. at the Gunnison Cemetery.
