Somewhere between packing the cooler and heating up the grill, we should all take time to remember those who have fought for us and those who are fighting even now. We should pause to reflect with grief and gratitude on the debt of love we owe and to pass it on to our children, in faithful allegiance to the declaration of General Logan instituting the first Memorial Day:
"Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic."
These websites offer some moving tools to help your family remember and mark the day:
