Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May. 

Some ways you can show honor and respect on Memorial Day is to display the American flag. You can also say thank you to someone who has served in the military (or is serving at the moment). You can either say thank you in person or you can write them a letter. Support of any kind is highly appreciated. You can visit one of the VA's National Cemeteries for Memorial Day Ceremony (you can check the location of the closest one on the website of the US Department of Veterans Affairs), or go to a local cemetery and decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flags and flowers-a great way to pay respect to those who fought for us.
  
Some interesting facts are that several towns claim to be originators of Memorial Day, but in 1966 Congress declared Waterloo, New York, to be the birthplace of the holiday. Memorial Day originally honored military personnel who died in the Civil War (1861-1865). Cities across the country host Memorial Day parades, but some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York, and, of course, Washington D.C.

Somethings I will do on Memorial Day is...
  1. put america flag outside my house
  2. say thank you to soldiers
  3. watch the parade
Reflection
My thoughts on Memorial Day is that I'm grateful for those soldiers that fought for our country. I believe we should take at least 5 mins of our day to honor those soldiers that have passed away. Its important to show respect to them because they fought for the right thing.

''I trust that my hard work will pay off,'' Tyler Haws Brigham Young University Basketball Player Mormon Church Missionary What Tyler Haws is saying is that when you work hard for something you will achieve goodness. Always try your best. You should never give up on something you want to accomplish or achieve. For example, Tyler got kicked out of his team when he was in 3th grade. He decides to work harder to get better. He did get better he later on went to Brigham Young University. He made a big impact on the basketball winning. He broke the record of shooting in basketball in the whole school. So as you can see everything good you do will pay off. An example for this would be life you want to become a teacher. You first need to go to school and study because you won't be able to be one unless you study. If you give up later on it will not be payed off. On the other hand if you keep on trying and you never give up then you will achieve it. Alw
