Chances are that like most patriotic Americans, you've taken a moment each Memorial Day to pause and remember.It is equally likely on the day that follows, that you read descriptions of dignified and stirring public ceremonies attended by others, only to say "one of these years".
Well, the day is tomorrow - and the time for you to make that decision is now!
For those in Southern California...
Please join active and retired members of the Los Angeles Fire Department and their families, as we gather Monday at California's largest Memorial Day Observance, which begins promptly at 10:00AM at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes.
For those in other parts of Our Nation...
We encourage you to visit a local Veteran's Cemetery, where many ceremonies are planned.
For All Americans...
As Los Angeles Firefighters, we were deeply disturbed by a poll revealing that few Americans knew the meaning of Memorial Day.
We therefore encourage every American to learn the history of Memorial Day, and to participate in the National Moment of Remembrance, in which every American is asked to devote just one minute of silence at 3:00 PM (their local time) this Monday, in a national act of unity to recognize those who have died for our freedom.
