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.

Class Evaluation

The things I like about the class is how everyone is friendly.Another thing I like is how I get to learn more about how to use a computer. To add on, something else I like is how I get to learn more about how to be a ctr person. The things I did not like about this class is how it sometimes gets less entertaining doing the same things everyday. Another thing is how it is really cold in the class. Some recommendations for improving the class is to put games in the ctr blog but games that we need to use the keys so e could get better at typing. Another recommendation is to put music while we are working on the medical career and student success statement to relax us. The highlight of this class for me was meeting new people and learning to choose the right. Yes, I really did my best in this class because all my classes are important. Also because I want to have straight A's and in order to get them I have to work hard in all my classes. Plus, I always work hard and try  my b...
